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. | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
Carrying commodities requires a [[Cargo Rack]]. Commodities are transported in [[Cargo Canister]]s. | |||
Human and NPC activities affect the evolution of the galaxy. This is handled by the [[background simulation]]. | |||
