Why do you say the star system isn't able to determine fairness. I don't believe that is what it is for. It tells you if trades are of equal, greater, or less value. I could pick up zero or one star trades, but I have never been in the position I needed to. The circumstances surrounding the trade may determine what you want to do but the stars have nothing to do with that. The player needs to decide if that trade works for them with the stars just as a guide to evaluate comparative values.
How do you evaluate prices in the real world? Usually from best deal to worst. Circumstances dictate what you can and cannot buy as does the quality of the item(intangibles). It is an open trade market and each FS determines that. Should we also take away the fee that you have to pay to trade with those you haven't "discovered"? Call that fee shipping and handling. Would you pay that to get your goods from, say, another country?
You want to pick up 0 and 1 star trades, that is your business. The current system works. If you don't like the stars, don't look at them. As for cross tier, I don't always pick up cross tier trades, especially tier one of tier 3. But that is me. Do your thing and we will do ours.
