Newcomer / Intro Black Markets on Carriers

[Starhawj]

The Dweller's requirement is to visit 5 black markets.... but my question has to do with Fleet Carriers. Since they can have a black market on them... does that count toward the Dweller's requirement or does it HAVE to be a station?

Use one - see what your stats (in the Codex) say - if your black market networks stat goes up, come back and tell us.

Well, I tried it....and there was no option to sell anything at the carrier I landed at. I think it has to do with the fact you set a specific "I'm buying/selling x" at the carrier... so if you don't have anything set it ends up not being very helpful.

I didn’t try fitting the secure facility aka black market during the beta so I am not sure if it works the way the standard commodities market works, which is as you describe.
Was it available?

I don't have my own carrier so I was unable to test, but my attempt at black market enabled carriers didn't work as per the nothing to sell option i stated...

So in general then, for all practical purposes, no point in trying to qualify for Dweller using F C as it would take longer to find suitable ones than normal stations.

yep

but if you have 5 friends who can set their black markets to whatever item you have, then it is possible to test that way.
