Downloading in NA now.

Edit: looks like AWS needs a diaper change, download speed is crawling probably due to the influx of upgrade requests :)

I've never been a troll, and I don't wish to be perceived as one at this late stage, but... Seriously FD, trading is very broken - we need this fixed before launch to avoid a similar press that X Rebirth received :( To clarify 'broken' I mean the lack of profitable routes due to (reading FD posts) overactive npcs and the inaccurate/downright misleading routes presented on the galaxy map. I'm a trader by nature from Elite in '84 through Frontier, First Encounters, Freelancer, X series and Eve. Since Elite has always been about the trade/fight/think/choose sandbox paradigm I really would expect this to work on launch day rather than be posted about for weeks with no real response.

I might be wrong but the reason that sometimes the trade routes are 'wrong' or misleading maybe that it is actually tracking the route cargo is taking, not necessarily a profitable trade route. Therefore if a player/NPC has a short jump distance, just speccing hoping to sell some stuff with no clue as to the resale value at the destination or is just plain going the wrong way it will skew what you are seeing. I always try to look for several routes going to the same destination, or better still hunt about and rely on my own notes.
 
Btw - did you know that the world we are treated to at startup and whenever we get dropped out of the game is the bug's homeworld? And the tiny coriolis is dev hq where they sit and try to eradicate each and everyone of them.

They applied a change to AI trading this evening with 2.06. It'll take time for it to filter through the market though and unbork what the AI did over the last few weeks. We'll have to see how things are over the next few days.
 
Using the Station Services interface prevents any further input.

In short, if I bring up the Station interface, I have to exit the game, as nothing (except the Escape key) works after that. :mad:
