AI Deputy CEO
You are the executive: you choose the goal, the constraints, and the strategy. The deputy is the manager: it gathers data, compares options, prepares actions, and reports back. The game server is reality: goods, credits, and trips live only there.
A complex goal such as "increase profit by 20%" becomes a reason for analysis, not an autonomous program: you confirm every significant action.

How to manage more effectively
Limiting risk
Set a cash reserve and a risk ceiling. The server checks them before a purchase.
Reports
Ask it to separate the forecast from the actual result.
Comparing markets
Look at different markets before hauling and account for order depth.
Repeating a trip
The cycle stops when demand runs short or limits are breached.
Fleet
Assign several ships to tasks and say which one you mean.
Growth plan
Choose between mining, trading, and production.
