They are "fixing" normal routes, but not the seeking luxery stuff? Thats strange... ^^
STATIC PRICE Trading Route : 1350/1500cr per t / 50Ls from star / 33Ly jump range
- Thread starter Tistuto
- Start date
This will also fix luxury trading. As soon as the "thundering herd" shows up, the station will no longer be able to sustain the supply.
HOWEVER, given the fix, If you've been contributing data to crowd sourced trade tools, STOP.
That is certainly what logic dictates.
I wonder though...
It will certainly be interesting to watch how players react.

There are a lot of fixes on the 1.1 list, and theres a few that will be good for the game and several quality of life improvements...however, i cannot find a single line stating anything about trading "fixes" or anything about the economy at all.

All of my trade routes have been nuked,
It's not just ones that have been posted here.
No profit to be made in trading anymore.
A very very stupid move by FD if you ask me, I spent the last month establishing trade routes... all for what? for them to get nuked in one go?
Stupid Stupid Stupid FD!

Last time they messed up trading I mostly flew combat until they fixed it.
This time it's two birds with one stone; I get to play combat, in a combat python (pre-sledgehammer) and then see what happens after the next patch

Yeah... but that was not my game plan at all.... I was saving up for my type 9 heavy.... now looks like I have to switch to bounty hunting in a Viper, since i don't want to spend loads of my money that I honestly worked so hard to earn!
Peace,

Its not like you can do anything with that type 9 now lol....and bounty hunting is getting nerfed in 1.1 as well....no more unlimited spawns, anywhere.

Perhaps they are getting ready to lauch BUY CREDITS on the FD website...
1 Million credits for £5
3 million for £10
10 million for £20
35 million for £35
50 Million for £50
I wouldn't put it past them.
Another thing to consider here is the ecconomic food chain all starts with trading.
Take away the profit for trading and you take away the profit for piracy....
Take away the pirates and there isn't anyone to bounty hunt....
So should we all be explorers then?

I popped in to check out my old route. It was out of the way and not heavily traded. I left it to go make 60 million on luxuries trading. Went back this evening. It seems fine.
I guess the fix is that lots of commanders pounding the same route will use up the supply. which is as it should be. now we can go back to finding our own routes and moving on from them if they get used up. Makes the game more interesting.

I don't see how that's a bad thing. But I'm old school enough to remember playing Wizardry and having TONS of sheets of graph paper maps everywhere.
I started trading with a notebook and finally pulled out my laptop and keep a spreadsheet open with all the commodities, and just add stations when I find good stuff.
I think it's fun, adds to the immersion that I'm doing something for something.
Call me crazy.

Pffft. D&D. Keep on the Borderlands. Yes, it's 2015. That said, system and station info still detail more than Elite 2/3 did and it's not like the format has changed all that much. People wanted incentive to explore, a dynamic universe, yada yada. Now that they get a closer Elite experience, it's too hard!
It's a good thing they added Flight Assist.
Not quite. Right now, without even going deep into the new system and tricks for it, I am making exactly half of what I made on a normal trade routes. But I'm in T9 and it still is a huuuge amount of money. So lol here.
those prices are still the same
