The galaxy's human populated space bustles with interstellar commerce. Many stations have or need certain Commodities, and have fluctuating buy and sell rates which allow commanders to make money on the market. Most commodities are transported in standardized Cargo Canisters, which must be transported in Cargo Racks installed in ships.
Commodities can be bought and sold at any Station that has a "Commodities Market", accessible through the Starport Services menu. To buy and sell illegal or 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. The Background Simulation is directly impacted by trading.
Ambitious traders can make large amounts of credits by transporting commodities which they have 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.
Lists
- Supply and Demand - Table of which station economies buy and sell which Commodities.
- Category:Commodities - An automatically populating list of documented Commodities.
- List of Rare Commodities - There are various unique Rare Commodities that can only be purchased from specific stations. Rare Commodities increase in value the further away they are transported from the system of origin (up to 200 ly, after which the value ceases rising). See also: Category:Rare Commodities.
