If you're transporting a lot of goods or passengers, you might want to do it without a fuel scoop. More transport room = more profit. The same trip with longer jumps (Fast Route) drains exponentially more fuel than what an Economic Route would drain. I just saw my destination 5 jumps away in...

I'm curious if there is a limit to the number of surface slots a body can have, the largest I've seen so far was 8 (I think), but I have no idea if a planet can have more than that. Trying to create a system with as many T2 strong links as possible to reach maximum demand for beer & wine. To...

A stealth change in Trailblazers that's worth discussing - you can trade rare goods on carriers now. It doesn't really have any effects for money making, but has some interesting results from how rare goods tie into other systems. For CGs you might want to gather rares on a carrier and haul...

(Update - see bottom comment beore selling anything - This is, as far as I can see a list of everythign for 1x all the suites weapons etc listed in the Engineering app) After just selling a load of stuff I should have kept I have put this together with various input from others. Hope it helps...

In Powerplay 2.0, one of the levers to acquire or reinforce a system is to trade for at least 40% profit. At the start of Powerplay 2.0, this lever was very overtuned and thus quickly disabled before returning with a much lower merit rate. Unfortunately the new formula behind this lever is...

Is it possible to have the ability to print/export a full list of commodities currently in stock abord our fleet carriers, please? I think this would help those of us who 'forget' things every now ant then. Cheers!!

Hello all keepers. I have a suggestion. Could you change the way of increasing/decreasing the number of leaves (prices) in the franchise mode trade? On the controller, you have to hold the right/left arrow, and with several animals, setting 10000 takes far too long. Maybe you could speed up the...

When thinking about the crew pilots you can hire, you probably think only of them being used in PVE as pilot fighters. However, I think there is potential for them to be used in many other ways. When it comes to community goals and trading, I always find it hard to haul items from my carrier to...

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

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...

Good evening commanders o7, I'm in need of some help, I've been on a mission to investigate the "stargoid" and found myself in OOCHORRS YL-H C12-0 where there are a vast amount of fleet carriers and two stars. I made it here by synthesizing some FSD jump juice and neglected to notice that I...

Dont know if this has been mentioned before... But considering the Lakon "Type" ships are supposedly dedicated cargo transportation ships. It be handy if they had an extra optional internal slot to fully maximise the potential of the cargo ships, Saud Kruger ships for example have dedicated...

The Fabrications module would house equipment necessary for maintaining life support and other necessary equipment. It's in-game purpose would be to convert the upkeep cost of the carrier into demand for Commodities. For simplicity I'd set the list of commodities and the associated demand...

Hi guys, I'm relatively new to this game, so bear with me. I'm trying to make some money by selling some goods. Under the 'also consumed by' tab a station or something was mentioned: 'Lugun Analytics Forum' in the HIP 91644 system. Here I could sell Gallite for a hefty profit. I turn up to the...

I am admittedly a fairly new player of ED: Horizons and have opted to use trading as my main source of income. I have been struggling with locating specific markets though; for example, the galaxy map says that in the Llyr system, there are markets such as the Malecela Command Site and the...

So apparently this is the nearest location to buy a commodity Tutunnyk Biological Facility I have been searching round the system and cannot find it anywhere. I am pretty sure I have located everything with the FSS and there are no UNKNOWNs shown in the navigation panel so I really don’t know...

We have no ties to any power, faction, or system. There is no mission statement you're required to follow, no leadership ranks to climb. Nothing but your ship, the stars, and a community to help build. I plan on creating a website and maybe even an in-game squadron but my focus currently is the...

Welcome to Orion Logistics. A small new, dedicated group of traders, commercial pilots, and miners. We are a Federation leaning group but do not officially align with any faction as we believe in free trade, that is until we're able to establish our own within the Elite universe. We're currently...

I did some cursory searching for a specific thread on this topic, and did not find anything relevant within the forums. If there is a forum thread on networking among small factions and/or squadrons, please post the thread link in the comments below. My purpose is to find, or otherwise...

Just an idea that occurred to me while making a "stonks" joke in system chat the other day. A ton of the in-game factions are corporate factions and there plenty of mega-corps and regular corporations that exist within the games lore that we could invest in to make a few credits on the side. It...

Hi! So I suck at combat and need more practice, and while I’ve always wanted to be a space bounty Hunter like Cowboy Bebop, I have also always wanted to be a Space Trucker! So space trucking is what I’m doing. I’m flying around the newbie area collecting courier missions, delivery missions, and...

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...

Disclaimer - I am NOT advocating for Open-Only, I'm just making an observation. Today I decided to join the Tritium Truckers, in hopes to make some meager credits to help me slowly progress to my goal of someday owning a fleet carrier. The best prices were between two outposts, so I configured...

Hi there, I'm not sure if these suggestions are read by developers, but if they are, I've been sparked with an idea with the release of fleet carriers. Considering that these carriers are movable space stations more or less, my suggestion is to integrate a fully flesh-out economy. I know...

They are going to be deluged by the waves of wares, coming in from the carriers.

Sorry, maybe I'm writing on the wrong subject. I believe that today's sale is not done right. Flew in a ship and I have only 100 goods in the hold then selling at the 1st price. If I have 500 goods in the hold and want to sell only 100, the price is not the same. Why is that ? I think it's a...

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...

Hello, Here's an idea. Given that (to my knowledge - happy to be corrected ) :- a) There is no direct way for players to trigger Public Holiday. b) Pirate Attack has a better chance of occurring if certain conditions are met, but again there is no direct way for players to trigger it. c)...

As we have all seen with the current Gorilla challenge, the market in Franchise mode can def be , and people are taking advantage of that. It doesn't help that this challenge doesn't promote putting them back in the market, since you want to release them. It makes it a sellers market, and...

So after playing Sandbox I tried Franchise again after a bad experience with the beta (still failed bcuz of money dropping so fast for no freakin reason), Ir noticed that I couldn't trade my Exhibit Animals like I could in Sandbox. I could only sell them? I had wild Dogs, Kimodo Dragons and...
