Rare Commodities List!

just wanted to note, that the rare "master slaves" of noti do count as slaves in the actual "Free the slaves"-community goal - so, they do count as "any kind of slaves" (not much surprise, as they are listed as a commodity under "slavery" - but it even makes it more strange why they are legal in federal noti (while being illegal under federal law anywhere else as far as i can see ...). max allocation is 13.

So managed to buy 14t of Mater Chefs at Noti [Weber Gateway] & they did count towards the Uibuth [D'Arrest Station] "FREEING THE SLAVES" CG ...but as far as rare profit selling I got 0 credit profit for a 294.54 LY trip ...hmmm interesting....

Also stopped by to pickup some Imperial Slaves on my way back at Kamocan [Littrow Gateway] & noticed the Master Chefs had 0 profit if I sold 1t there as well....hmmmm

The profit on Master Chefs isn't wonderful anyway. The purchase price has been set too close to the GAP. Maybe this is what breaks the calculation at some stations. Ultra-Compact Processor has also been set up this way, so it would be interesting to see if this is broken at the same stations too.

Ah I wondered if the rare Master Chefs was broken or if it just hated me lol

No forgot to as I became engrossed in the CG.
Getting myself up to the 15% & then helping another CMDR to get higher up before the CG completed. Currently on my iPhone checking these forums as I have RL appointments & stuff to do.

I'll file a bug report when I get home & do some more testing & include the screenshots I took.

This sounds like what I mentioned here https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=63119&p=3559089&viewfull=1#post3559089

When I have found this, it is not just one rare that has zero profit, it is all the rares you have on board, so it is someting to do with the market. Is it a feature or a bug? I'm not sure - but I think I have read elsewhere about markets being affected by plague, war etc., or did I imagine that?

I'm not getting any game time at the moment so can't do much research on this, I'll be back soon though hopefully...
 
Here's an example. I'm at Neritus and I have Noti MC's (illegal) 45.7 LY, and Chateau De Aegaeon 40.33 LY on board, no profit on either. I know I'm not really far enough to sell, but they should show some profit at this distance.

However... The system is in a state of Civil Unrest - I think that is why?

Well waddya know - Peregrinus' bug report has found the answer (for me at least)

It seems if you use one of the apps like EDMC (I use EDCE) and save before visiting the commodities market, a bug in the companion server wipes your profit (temporarily) - I launched and landed again immediately and went to the C Market, and everything was as expected (see below). See the bug link here... https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=235045&p=3614313&viewfull=1#post3614313

Thanks for raising the bug Peregrinus!

No problem & thanks to CMDR Otis B. who posted the info about using apps that use the Companion API & having a bug:
If you use EDMC (or any other app that uses the Companion API) then it's likely that you're hitting this bug.

If so, try undocking and redocking and visit the Commodities Market before hitting "Update".

Here is some virtual rep +1, until I can give out rep again :)

Armed with the knowledge of the bug I have found the following workaround to be effective at my 2 most recent stops, no guarantee, but so far so good...

1. Dock at destination
2. Select Starport Services
3. Enter Commodity Market where as expected prices are normal
4. Use EDMC, EDCE or your tool of choice

Now because you did 3 before 4, the prices are as they should be
 
There's a new CG to collect Cherbones Blood Crystals and deliver them to Lave Station.

Current allocation is 20t and I got it all without a wait. NB it is 18 minute SC to Chalker Landing!

I got jumped by a pirate in Lave, interdicted twice and lost 8 of my 20 crystals to a cargo hatch malfunction, jumped out within seconds of getting vapourised, all sorts of systems failing but just made it by the skin of my teeth! I'll try and deliver the remaining 12 at some point.

We could do with a friendly group guarding the Lave space lanes for this CG I think!

if you bring a (3D) collector limpet controller to cherbones, you can colelct 40 - first 20, wait 11 min for market refresh, drop 20 outside nfz, get another 20 while having one container selected, collect the ones you dropped. be aware, an instance can only hold 20 canisters.

That's a great tip (keeping one targeted) , I'll be trying it real soon

Have some rep :D - Edit... when I'm allowed to give rep again, apparently I need to spread the rep first!

I haven't read back through the thread, but it looks like the allocation has been nobbled to give 20, as I believe it's normal allocation is 3. Gave me 20 on docking, so it's a standard CG rares model. The small platform and long run in really promotes some teamwork! It's a hardy commander who runs back and forth to Lave with 20 at a time wit this run in!

If you are going to do that, then ALWAYS ASK FOR DOCKING PERMISSION BEFORE DROPPING YOUR CANS! You get 10 mins to dock, so you can ask for docking permission and wait outside at your leisure. Last thing you want is to drop your cans and find all pads are busy!

Also, try to fly away from the station in a straight line forward or upwards - if you ask for docking permission and look back, you can see the pad from where you drop your cans, making it quicker and easier to dock. You then know that your cans are directly above the launch pad or directly in front of it.

No-fly zone is about 4.5k away from the station.

Always good to find someone to team up with!

Happy Raring!
