I agree with Sinocelt -- this seems like it could work. The reason we didn't do this in ST RPG is that their are only 1 level. A level 1 Trade Permit is sorta OP on startup tho, but I can get behind it if the testing goes well. Is it? I think I could get one for 1,000 of my starting creds with my Prince contact on the planet above which I started, without the need of doing even one mission to gain more rep. Depends entirely on your template, right? If you put Contacts D/E you definitely cannot buy a Permit right away.

Or even something like buying a level one permit for 750 credits instead, like a small discount so you can start trading in good money (since that's your primary goal anyway).

Contacts D, no mission performed yet; permit 1,600 credits, available immediately.

Except if you take a Contact that doesn't have a Permit

Oh, sure. But Princes can provide permits, edicts, and military ranks, in addition to missions and introductions.

Sinocelt - yeah, they are great contacts.

Yep. But that means that if getting a trading permit right from the start is overpowered, as Cory said, then it's a an overpowered advantage that is really easy to get: all you need is a Prince as contact. (And as soon as players learn all that Princes can do for them, they'll all pick one as contact anyway.)
