The easiest way of dealing with it until a permanent fix is coded would be to host CGs at a system with just the station orbiting a single star giving a maximum of 16 FCs present.
ANNOUNCEMENT Important Information on the Enhanced Missile Rack Initiative
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
Or even temporarily permit lock the CG system and have FC's use the surrounding systems as parking places - gives the 'other' players plenty of 'emergent content' too, well the ones who elect to be in open, that is
in game notification probably would have been nice.
But anyway hi.

I think I can see how they implemented it.
The price a commodity was bought at (the most recent price) is stored with it. That's how your profit is calculated when you sell it. For mined goods, the purchase price was zero.
So the CG is checking that the price is still zero. So, don't do anything to change that. I expect Carrier owners could get caught out if they use their own commodities market rather than the inventory-transfer function.
And presumably if a Carrier-owner transfers his mined goods to the Carrier, and then back to his ship in the CG system, and then launches and jettisons the goods for someone else to collect... then they wouldn't pass through the commodities market and the price would still be zero.

Does this also mean that piracy / stolen goods won't count?
I really appreciate that for "normal" trade goals, pirated goods count and there's always a black market to sell them to at the CG station. It means that I can legitimately play the CG as a friendly scallywag. Pirating mined minerals to get on the CG board would be likewise awesome.
Have they stopped disabling Black Markets at CG stations now?
The first initial post was very unclear, yes - but if you read all the dev posts that answer player questions up to this point it becomes clear enough.
sshhhhhh, who are we to stand in the way of a salty pukeRage??
Mine is normally free... Can't get much cheaper than that!Can we see a permanent drop in the price of tritium?

Well it isn’t wanted for the CG so I have set it to ignore as it was wasting cargo space.Mine is normally free... Can't get much cheaper than that!
But I must say it is unusual to see someone asking for the price paid for selling mined items to be reduced.
"The mined commodity must be REFINED by you to count in the CG"
Our group fell foul of this in one of the earliest mining CG's for Osmium, It has been forever thus!
Not sure how FC's are going to affect this but I will find out soon.

In my experience (both since CGs started again, and before they halted) it's even better than that: the CG station always has a black market, whether or not it has one normally. Which is fantastic and gets a big round of applause from me.
Well that sucks, but I understand. I am REALLY not in the mood to numb my mind to this magnitude.
Buying the ore at a FC would show in your log that it was purchased...So, does this mean, every ore has its own RFID-Chip, which is printed in the refinery and marks it as mined? Buying a mined ore at a carrier reconfigurates the RFID-Chip? Crazy!
Which is why the point was made to FC owners to transfer the ore from the mining ship to the FC, then transfer from the hold to delivery ship - to hopefully prevent players being disappointed that their time didn't count...
