    Hired Crew use as haulers for FC

    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...

    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...

    [Suggestion] Fabrications Carrier Module

    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.

    Newcomer / Intro How to Locate Specific Markets?

    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...

    An in-game stock market for commanders to invest in.

    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...

    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...

The best prices were between two outposts, so I configured...

    Suggestion for next major update: Economy

    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...

    Sale of goods

    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...

    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...

    Indirect manipulation of Sell to Market prices via behind-the-curtain BGS state tuning?

    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...

    Newcomer / Intro How Does Market Determine "High Demand" ?

    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...

    Suggestion: add cargo which could damage pirates when they picked it up.
