After failing to getting sirius with two cargo missions I now have a ship full of stolen stuff. Need to sell it fast as my fines have pretty much reduced me to nil credits, can anyone recommend a nearby no questions asked black market?
Black market in sol system?
- Thread starter Zog Oakley
- Start date
Try the 3rd planet from the sun, loads of illegal things going on there.
Thanks all, I'm not cut out for a life of crime (don't even have weapons on my ship at present)
Oops shouldn't have said that - now I'm pirate bait!
Look a capital ship! *slips out while everyone is looking the the other way-

lol, that's not exactly a "hop"
One single jump from Sol qualifies as a hop in my book.
The Al-Din Prospect outpost has the black market.
I haven't logged in since my post, so hopefully no nosey customs officer has checked my hold full of stolen goods in the meantime!
Personally I classify a hop as "can a vanilla Viper make it", and at 4.3ly even a Viper can travel from Sol to Alpha Centauri, so it's definitely a hop!
I understand that the in-system travel distance from Alpha Centauri's star to the station is a massive distance. Not been there myself tho.
Alpha Centauri's black market is about 3,000 LS from the star. Not too far away, but much more convenient is the one in Li Qingjao station, orbiting Earth.
The stations in Medb are over 1Mls away from the jump-in point. boring
You're thinking of the Proxima Centauri star, for which the station that orbits it is Hutton Orbital. They're talking about the Al-Din prospect station which is close to the main Alpha Centauri star when you hyperspace in to that system.
Proxima Centauri is still in the Alpha Centauri system but you can't hyperspace there, meaning you have to supercruise all 0.2 light years there. It takes about an hour and you average about 1500c at full throttle.
I decided to take the advice in this thread and jump from Sol into Alpfa Centauri with 3 tons of gold a pirate I was fighting dumped before he bugged out. Wntered system started to head towards Al-Din Prospect. All of a saudden Im interdicted by a player in an asp who launched missiles and used beam lasers on me. Im sure I was such an epic kill for him, Ive been playing for 4 days.
Nice way to put n00bs off the game.

Sorry mate, but if getting killed in open space by a player "puts you off the game", you could have chosen to do solo or private group play. I am not playing open until I've got my bearings more well established. Maybe you should do the same if you don't like getting killed.
