| 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. | | Some [[starport]]s feature a '''black market'''. This is separate from the [[Commodities Market]] and 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 has a black market. It can also disabled by local authorities. To find out whether specific station has a (active) black market, open [[System Map|system map]], select the station and check if ''Black Market'' is listed under the ''Facilities ''entry. You can also find systems with black markets in the [[Galaxy Map]] - select ''Services'' in the Map View Configuration and then'' Black Market''. | | ==Overview== |
| | The black market can be found in the Contacts menu of [[starport]] services at starports where it is available. To find out whether specific station has an active black market, open [[System Map]], select the station, and check if "Black Market" is listed under the Facilities entry. Systems with black markets can also be located in the [[Galaxy Map]] by selecting Services in the Map View Configuration and then Black Market. |
|
| |
|
| Prices on the black market can vary greatly, depending on the goods and system. Generally the black market takes a percentage of 25% off of the normal commodity prices. For example, if a station offers you 1,000,000 CR per [[Low Temperature Diamonds|Low Temperature Diamond]], the black market will offer 750,000 credits.
| | The presence of a black market is not constant. In most cases, it depends on the government type of the minor faction that is currently controlling a given station, as some types allow black markets to be run in territory under their control while others do not. In general, government types that allow black markets include Anarchy, Democracy, Cooperative, and Communism, while government types that prohibit them include Corporate, Dictatorship, Patronage, Feudal, and Theocracy. |

| 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]]. Being cargo scanned whilst carrying such items may incur a bounty, or a fine from the starport authorities.

| | Prices on the black market can vary greatly, depending on the goods and system. Generally, the black market subtracts 25% from the normal commodity prices. For example, if a station offers 1,000,000 CR per unit of [[Low Temperature Diamonds]] in the normal market, the black market will offer 750,000 CR. |

| | Carrying [[Stolen Goods|stolen goods]] and/or [[Illegal Goods|illegal goods]] can be a dangerous pastime. Authorities, and other pilots, will often scan the cargo of ships to see if they are carrying any stolen and/or illegal goods. Being cargo scanned while carrying such items may incur a [[Crime & Punishment|fine or bounty]] from the starport authorities, leading to restricted access to normal station services. |
