    Question on enforcing certain commodities

    I have a system I have colonized and am trying to plan out. I'm planning out this system to be lore accurate for my player minor faction I introduced into the game a few years ago. I want the faction to function kind of like an arms dealer for the galaxy (think Militech from Cyberpunk 2077). I...

    Fleet carrier storage bug. Nov 2023

    Hey, Is anyone else experiencing a bug with transferring inventory from ship to fleet carrier. After each offload I have to restart the game for it to work again. Every time. Trade requires an “Exit To Menu” every time, man. Smh

    Fastest way to offload a carrier

    I have been on days long mining runs with my carrier, accumulating commodities, and the carrier hold has a few thousand units of whatever I'm mining: and now I want to sell to the most convenient destination. The carrier conveniently jumps close to the target destination... however I find that...

    Please add Surstromming as a commodity in game

    Marauders Vanguard would like to have Surstromming (the Swedish fish delicacy) added to Elite as a commodity, possibly require a caustic rack to transport.

    Fleet carrier commodities don't update immediately on sale/purchase

    Was this not supposed to be fixed? I've seen some talk about this a while back but couldn't find an issue or a thread. The issue I'm talking about is that items sold or bought from carriers don't update. For example, I have 100t of cargo and sell it to a carrier. I get no money and the...

    Market Weirdness: Inconsistently Open Commodities Markets

    I have been experiencing an odd set of inconsistencies in commodities markets (NOT black markets) being open or closed depending on what faction owns the station. This was happening before Odyssey but I now have gathered enough data to discuss and hopefully get clarity with the community...

    Newcomer / Intro Commodity issues and pre-discovered systems/stars

    Hello everybody, I've been playing the game for over a month now and pretty intensely, too. Today I've encountered a problem that I cannot understand. I was and still am looking for combat stabilizers, so I edited the galaxy map accordingly (commodity menu with import/export + trading routes)...

    Question: Fleet carriers and BGS

    Hi there, This community was very kind to help me out when I was stuck in a remote system and I am hoping it can help me answer some questions now. I apologize if this has all been explained before! I recently bought a fleet carrier and am wondering about the commodity market on board and how...

    Commodities Information in Codex/Manual

    It would be great if we could look up the Commodities that we've found/traded before in the Codex or Pilot Handbook. Sometimes I'm looking for a specific commodity and it would be nice to be able to read the in-game blurb as to what economies tend to sell it. If the current market sells it or...

    Add a High Value Commodity Only Tradable In Open

    Not only would it make trading a more viable money maker, it would revitalize the pirating scene, make traders bother engineering and adding defenses to their ships, and maybe even encourage traders to have bodyguards or travel in groups. Seems like such a simple thing would add a lot of life to...

    New mining bug

    So i have mined out 242 void opals, in two groups, first one was 87, and the second one was 155, on the first sale i was sitting at 14 mil and for some reason after sale it replaced that 14 mil for the sale price of 144 mil. I thought it was a one time glitch till i sold the 155. I had 30 mil...

    Ability to see required commodities for missions while buying or on ship inventory

    I am hoping this quality of life improvement can be added,. I basically would like a way of seeing what totals of missions items are required when purchasing commodities. When you have 6 or 7 missions all needing stuff, the missions may mean you need 3 different commodities made up of...

    Commodities Interface Update, Please

    It's something we use a LOT. We could use an upgrade. Here are a few suggestions: Filters/Sort It would be grand to have a way to filter the commodities in the UI to display only those items that a given station has to sell instead of having to scroll through the whole inventory to see...

    Higher grade cargo racks

    they could have more integrity, resist pirating, hold more cargo at the cost of weight, resist having cargo fly away once your cargo hatch starts malfunctioning.

    Does anyone ever take the commodity rewards for missions?

    Can't see the point of it to be honest. You can sell them for maybe a bit more than if you take the cash alone, and that's after finding a suitable market. Doesn't seem worth the effort. Maybe I'm missing something?

    Commodity Storage

    can we introduce a small amount of commodity storage please. Even if we have to pay per tonne per day or week. I suggest this is set to a maximum of 100 units, and can be stored as an station you dock at, just like we store modules. Can we also have the ability to transfer the stored...

    Galaxy map trade feature lacks context and short-term memory

    So in the "I wish I had had more time for beta" section, it feels like the new "commodity finder" feature on the galaxy map is pretty howyadoin'. Trying to find personal weapons, it turns out that the map has very little idea about legality. It will happily show a station where stuff is banned...

    Passenger Mission Arrival Point Algorithm needs to apply to Commodities Market upon return

    One of the side effects of the algorithm for rewarding passenger missions based upon the arrival point distance was that it killed off the commodities trade for many commanders. Thus, imho, when the algorithm returns it needs to apply to prices on the Commodities Market as well. CMDR Justinian...

    Demand/Production/Stock price dilemma, and Smuggling issues - Save the Merchants!

    Hey pilots. I was thinking for a while about how galactic economy works. I was first playing E: D with (don't laugh) Spice and Wolf in mind – a story about two smart people using their wit to turn in some tasty profit. So I did cargo runs, and deliveries, and smuggling, tried piracy (heh) and...

    Remove all extras from missions (Cargo/Commodities etc)

    Yes there are loads of threads asking for it but my reason is simple: I want it removed because if I fly a Sidey with a SRV instead of any Cargo racks some missions with cargo cannot be turned in (They don't appear on the mission board until I fit a cargo rack). Also commodities are equally as...

    Where are my commodities?

    So, after 2.4 dropped I decided to get back into elite to see what is what. heard about near death experiences of other commanders who came face 2 face with thargs and did not feel the need to meet them yet. I decided to get into the CG's for anti-tharg stuff and what i discovered made my heart...

    Frontier intro song

    I would really like to see an updated version to this intro tune included somewhere in this game, even if it's only put on the official soundtrack. I still think it is one of the best instrumentals I've ever listened too and would really like to hear a full on orchestral version. Please make...
