{{Confuse|Goods}}
The [[galaxy]]'s human populated space bustles with interstellar commerce. Many [[Station|stations]] have or need certain '''Commodities''', and have fluctuating buy and sell rates which allow commanders to make money on the [[Market Economy|market]]. These items are divided into commodity types.
The [[human]] populated [[Star system|systems]] bustle with interstellar [[:Category:Commerce|commerce]]. Many [[station]]s, [[Settlement|settlements]] and [[Surface Port|Surface Ports]] require '''Commodities'''. They have fluctuating buy and sell rates which allow [[Commander|commanders]] to make [[Credits|money]] on the [[Market Economy|market]]. Most commodities are transported in [[Cargo Canister]]s which require [[Cargo Rack]]s that are installed in [[ships]].
Commodities can be bought and sold at any [[Station]]s that has a "Commodities Market" - accessible through the Starport Services menu. To buy and sell [[Illegal Goods|illegal]] or [[Stolen Goods|stolen]] commodities the player must find a station that has a [[Black Market]]. The availability of certain commodities can vary greatly from station to station. Generally stations will produce and consume certain commodities based upon their [[Market Economy]] type. Prices of commodities are dynamic and will fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including as a direct result of player interaction. Trade routes and strategies can change on a day to day basis - especially in areas with a high amount of player activity.
Commodities can be bought and sold at any [[Station]] with a ''Commodities Market'' which is accessible via the ''Starport Services'' menu. To buy and sell [[Illegal Goods|illegal]] or [[Stolen Goods|stolen]] commodities, the commander must find a station with a [[Black Market]]. The availability of certain commodities can vary greatly per station. Generally, stations produce and consume commodities based on their [[Market Economy]] type. Commodity prices are dynamic and fluctuate based on various factors including player interaction. Trade routes and strategies can change on a daily basis, especially in areas with a high amount of player activity. The [[Background Simulation]] is directly impacted by trading.
Ambitious [[trader]]s can make large amounts of [[credits]] by transporting commodities which they've bought at a low price and selling at a higher price. There are many [[Third Party Tools]] that can aid in finding trade routes throughout populated space.
