Short Range Transport Contracts should be cheaper

[Xebec]

Suggestion is title - It should be cheaper to transport "stuff" from "Gibraltar to Morocco" than from Italy to North America.

Either that, or in a given unit of time (say, a turn), you get more capacity for a shorter run. i.e., the ships can make many short hauls vs. a few long hauls in a turn.

I'd make it sea zone based instead of MTH based. Have 2 types of transport contracts, one of which only offers you origin hexes in the same sea zone as the sea zone you chose, and a more expensive one that allows you to to go from anywhere to the sea zone in question.

Would also make the "choose your starting port" much simpler, and keep the AI from invading from across the planet.
