![]() ![]() take it to a station beset by famine if you can. then, pick up food all over that system and take it back somewhere in a technological system. so, if you have an agricultural system with a far-flung station, it will usually buy obtanium really high. Remote stations pay more for something their system doesn't have. you'll start to get a sense for it eventually and you'll spot when something that looks like it's a good buy actually isn't because you'll find it cheap everywhere.Īlso, sometimes you'll catch something on a swing one way or the other. I think the pirate stations skew those indicators and if you're like me and you can't dock there, then that red price means nothing. in general, you have to be careful buying something red, and can't just expect that the lower-than-average price will mean you can sell it somewhere. I do not know if the game keeps a realistic track of the spread of a commodity geographically through a system from its originating point of market disruption or if it just changes all the numbers. ![]() I don't know how exactly how precise it is. the economies are not reliable, and often times when something is red, there's a decent chance it's red because it's red in the whole system there is an oversupply of that commodity. Like you I got tripped up early on when I bought something in the red only to find that I couldn't sell it anywhere. ![]() if another station has a market glut, you can probably pick up those munitions for a song. for example, if a station is at war, it will pay a ton for munitions. this is also the only time you can really rely on the markets in the game. in general, the best money is made when exploiting a dynamic event or two complimentary dynamic events. it does also mean that it's pretty satisfying when you pull off a good trade though. the highly dynamic nature of the trading system means you will have a hard time finding reliable routes. trading is not one of the game's strongest areas. Word to the wise, doing missions is more practical than trading, especially later on. it would have been nice to have a number showing what you'd bought it at.Įxclamation points denote prices connected to a dynamic event at that location. SO now I'm stuck trying to decode the trading ssytem a little.Ĭan anyone help? green is higher than system average, red is lower than system average. THen maybe it was that the price was well below the system average. Originally, I thought the red were out of stock, but desired. Thus far, I've figured out that prices in green are higher than the system average, but am having a hard time figuring out what the red, red with an exclamation point (!), and white are all about. VetMichael: It is pretty obvious that there is a robust trading system involved with a lot of money riding on the right deal at the right time. ![]()
