Rare Commodities List!

[Redstorm]

It's pretty clear that the rare commodities are absolutely imbalanced and need to be nerfed. But I also think all the other activities (bounties, missions) give WAY too few money. Mining has a glass ceiling too. I hope they do some major re-balancing and buff the other activities.

So far I've made about 6.5 mil / hour in a 128 asp.

Q: how to you get 128T? mine maxed at 124 with all cargo fitted.

To me the profit available for the rare trading is what should be available for the Drug smugglers, Gun Runners, or illegal activity where their is RISK!/REWARD. if you get caught their a reputation or worse consequences for your commander.

With rares their is no risk and huge reward, interdiction is too easy to avoid.

If running an asp you're perfectly fine using one of the size 2 slots for a high quality scoop. I do my runs with a 120t no shield asp and a A5 FSD now and it's not exactly long covering the 150LY per run...

What I'm not settled on yet is 16T or 32T fuel tank... But I'm leaning towards 16T to maximise my single jump range.

Is the fuel tank on an internal slot? if its not then just fit the 32T tank and 50% fill it. Thats what i do to max my range especially if the next hop is a long one, dont over fill your tank.

If its an internal slot then i can see the benefit of fitting a 16T to a class 4 slot and cargo to the class 5. but i don't think it works like that.

Just double checked Gilya Bell Orbital in Gamma 2.0, still no rares in Bell Orbital. Just in case, went to the only other station - an outpost - which the system map notes as having no commodities market and confirmed it indeed has no commodities market.

great idea thanks for checking

I think everybody agrees that it needs balancing, and it will be done. I also agree with some that extra supply should be available during events and such, it does foster excitement.

I'd love it for rares to be situational, where they act as part of events. So if there is a conflict kicking off somewhere then the price of items such as weapons and medicine jumps in the conflict systems, but the risk of taking them there is significantly increased.

I've just transported 91 tonnes of Lavian Brandy to Ethgreze (Bloch Station), 143Ly away. I bought for 3,500 but the sale price is showing as 2,625. I know some people have reported that it takes a few minutes for the price to update BUT the galatic average is showing as 1,312 :S


EDIT: Forget that - the price just appeared and the average went up to 10,385.

 

[sendmark]

Yeah looks like someone switched them off completely. Guess they're having problems setting the stock correctly.

Similar thing here.

Xihe --> Vequess = 109.15ly
Bought for = 4482cr
Sale Price at Vequess = 3855cr

I just edited my original post - it updated eventually
.
The stock level at Ethgreze was a measly 4, so steer clear everyone!

I'm not sure but I think it was noted in this thread that there could be a GUI bug showing incorrect prices for the rares...

385 still at Jaroua. Either the update hasn't taken place, or it has and this is the new value.

only had 7 for me.. seems a LOT more random!
rice unit price also 50% of old value

Can't check stuff out tonight, I'm having the issue where the game cannot start anymore now (just blackscreen at startup then crash following). Got to wait for a fix I guess.

So this just happened:

Hauled from Jaroua to Chi Erdanis... selling for a loss off 180 cr each. Sold one just to test, actually results in a loss.

 

[Andargor]

Chi Eridani is empty for me right now, we'll see if it's just a display bug

 

[Penumbra]

OK, so I just did a run from Bast (Bast Snake Gin) to Any Na, which according to the spreadsheet is 170,318 LY away, but if I sell it I make a loss. What gives?

 

[Vikinger]

Same here. I get 800 cred loss/ ton. Galactic average is 1300 for Lave brandy

 

[Andargor]

Read the thread, there might be a display bug. Hang on for a few minutes, and check again.

Having similar issue from Jaroua to Chi Eridani :/

Thinking of heading for Thrutis to see if I can make a sale there. I just had a successful run a few minutes ago, what a bummer, lol. The pirate count is definitely much higher now as well. Route planning was nice though.

 

[i3ullit]

Same Problem. Loss on Sell

Came with full Cargo from Toxandji to Delta Phoenicis. First haul: 500000Cr. Second: 6000 Cr loss.

Seems like there changed something this evening.

Saw those. I've been sitting here for 5 minutes, nothing. I even logged out and in. No "update" occurring here, and I sold one which really did result in a loss.
