[[File:Black Market Screen.jpeg|thumb|250px|Selling stolen and illegal goods]]

Some [[Station]]s and [[Surface Port]]s feature a '''Black Market''', a separate service from the [[Commodities Market]] where [[smuggler]]s can sell [[Stolen Goods]] and [[Illegal Goods]]. While using a Black Market is technically illegal except under Anarchy [[government]]s, security forces in systems where Black Markets exist only concern themselves with catching smugglers, and will apply a [[Crime & Punishment|fine or bounty]] on any ships that they detect carrying contraband.

~~[[File:blackmarketmenu.png|thumb|300px|Access to~~ the Black Market]]

==Overview==

The Black Market is accessed through the Contacts menu, only found at ports where the Black Market is available.

[[~~File:sellillegalgoodsmenu~~.~~png|thumb|300px|Selling your stolen and illegal goods~~]]

To find out whether specific station has an active Black Market, open [[System Map]], select the port, and check if "Black Market" is listed under the Facilities section. Systems with Black Markets can also be located in the [[Galaxy Map]] by selecting Services in the Map View Configuration and then Black Market.

~~Some starports offer~~ a ~~'''black market'''. This~~ is ~~additional to~~ the [[~~Commodities Market~~]] and is the ~~only place where [[Stolen Goods|stolen goods]]~~ and~~/or~~ [[~~Illegal Goods|illegal goods~~]] ~~can~~ be ~~traded~~. ~~The black market can~~ be ~~found in~~ the ~~contacts menu of starport services~~, ~~but only where it is available (not every starport supports black market trade)~~.

===Availability===

The presence of a Black Market at a specific port is not constant, and depends primarily on the type of [[government]] of the minor faction that currently controls the port and the ebb and flow of the [[Background Simulation]]. If a port with an active Black Market is taken over by a minor faction that does not permit Black Markets, then the local Black Market will be disabled until the port is taken over by another minor faction that does permit Black Markets. If a minor faction controlling a port with an active Black Market enters the Lockdown state, then the local Black Market will be disabled until the Lockdown ends. If a minor faction enters the Civil Unrest state, then any local ports under its control will open a Black Market for the duration.

~~Prices on the black market can vary greatly, depending on the goods and system.~~

~~Carrying [[Stolen Goods|stolen goods]] and/or [[Illegal Goods|illegal goods]] can be~~ a ~~dangerous pastime. Authorities, and other players,~~ will ~~often scan~~ the ~~cargo of ships to see if they are carrying any~~ [[~~Stolen Goods|stolen~~]] ~~and/or [[Illegal Goods|illegal goods]].

Note that using a Black Market will decrease the [[influence]] of the controlling minor faction.

===Prices===

~~(Cost~~ on ~~Private Group - From Commander Droxy)~~

Prices on the Black Market can vary greatly, depending on the goods and system. Generally, the Black Market subtracts 25% from normal commodity prices. For example, if a port offers 500,000 CR per unit of [[Low Temperature Diamonds]] in its Commodities Market, the Black Market will offer 375,000 CR.
