trade

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...

Greetings commanders. My name is thedoctor_500 (kiddo279) the comander of ODTK. We are a small group of Commanders with pvp, pve, and bgs in mind. The order of the knights was created by kiddo279 to fight back against the pirate infestation (pvp and pve alike) to keep space safe for commanders...

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...

Recently started a new squadron "WEYLAND YUTANI CORP" cause who doesn't like a bit of Alien, there are Thargoids after all. Tried recruiting CMDRs through Xbox groups, but is almost completely dead. Only four people have marked they are interested, one player has joined the Xbox Club i created...

I strongly believe the game needs a price lock for trading animals. Here is what I mean by that: I'm adopting an ostrich for 20 leaves. I should be unable to immediatly sell the ostrich for anything higher than 20 leaves. Reason: People are lurking at the trade center looking for a cheap animal...

I just started doing some serious trading with the new tools, and I'm confused. I'm seeing things in the market where the demand over is 300, but these items are not flagged as "high demand". However, other items with a demand of 60 is considered high demand. Is this bugged? I've been using the...

My step-dad just had this idea. It’s basically the interstellar-piracy version of dye packs in money/stores. Pirate interdicts you, you’re in a slow and weak ship. But you planned for this, and you’ve got [x] tons of live explosives disguised as valuable goods. You drop those, pirate scoops...

Recently there was a Galnet article about nanomedicine- “The IHO rendered its decision on January 17, siding with Vitadyne Labs and approving their nanomeds a legal medical product with the caveat that Vitadyne had to distribute their nanomeds through an established pharmaceutical company to...

Hello, Maybe some of you Elite traders out there can explain this to me: - I am in an Extraction system and I went to the galmap and bought trade data for e Refinery system (100 Cr) hoping to see what prices they have - However on the galmap, it says "Data for this system is unavailable" and at...

Is's obvious ED is going to do this change regardless of we like it or not, so, I am not going to address that as it's pointless. But, I have an idea, like it or hate it-I don't care, but I figured I'll put this out here to discuss. Change the Intermediate Discovery scanner to do what the...

I'm certain this won't affect many commanders. Most would rather post up with Adele's Armada and ruin those helpful few at the CGs or blast away at pirates in a Rez but, to digress, a few suggestions on repairing stations: Wheres the waste? Repairing stations don't produce ANYTHING. This is, an...

I watched Obsidian And's video on the new trade data and commodities, and I think it could be great tool, but I just don't understand how it works or how to use it. Yesterday: Traveled to SAN TU, scanned the Nav Beacon -> No updates to the galmap Traveled to Chomsky Terminal, bought...

I think the current mechanism of human expansion (mostly through community goals and FDEV generated bases) is a bit restrictive and not terribly interesting from the players' perspective. Despite attempts to involve the player base in the construction of new bases, I've never really felt any...

Good morning: I am an experienced player who plays the game with Oculus and who likes to play, especially in the role of merchant. I have a lot of fun when I fly my beautiful Imperial Cutter and, I make trade routes of "single hop trade" and without looking for profitability beyond the one I...

So I haven't been able to find answer to this question so I thought I would try here. Do data delivery missions/courier(data delivery) missions give credit toward trade rank? If so, do bonuses received on those data delivery missions also count toward trade rank or is only the original amount...

Offer players playing in Open play the opportunity to accept Dangerous trade missions where there is a high chance a player pirate will be sent to stop you from delivering your cargo but the reward for completing the mission is double the usual payout Pirate players accept the High Value...

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...

So lets start off by saying I love this game. All what I am about to say is my opinion and mine alone I don't represent anyone or anything but MYSELF Formality's out of the way lets talk Elite First off lets start off by saying. Nerfing honey holes is a sign there is a issue with acquiring...

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...

I’m finding that when I use the galactic map to find Famines that when I go there they are outbreaks or civil war but are also not found under the correct tag on the Xbox. e.g. Belanit

Hi, i’m Commander Dar We’re a fun-loving, casual and dedicated group of highly active veteran commanders that didn’t like the direction our previous wing was going in. So we decided to respectfully part ways and branch off into our own wing. We are 100% independent and we welcome all commanders...

Guys can you help me, i need some good Conda trade route i have 468 gargo!

I feel after a few years of this game being around its time to bring back up the discussion around player driven economy. Firstly, ive seem a lot of arguments for it from the community and a negative feeling from the developers but let me use an example of a game that, im sure many have...

tl;dr Automation of the main gameplay grind and allow experienced players to build trade fleets/mining conglomerates forthose who prefer strategy to twitch combat. I am one of many who play Elite a bit and get a bit, well, bored - I know there is such a lot going on in the wider galaxy, but...
