But they AREN'T trading, they just pretend to. If the NPC's ACTUALLY traded players could create blockades, and prevent the supplies from getting through. But that isn't possible because the NPC's don't actually deliver anything.
It's just an illusion.
Players have little to no impact towards ANYTHING in this game.
agreed, simulation wise this is just as as the latest simcity game.
it is totally OK for me if trading is not the only thing to make money with, but then every other "job" has to be brought in line and/or ship and equipment progression needs to be balanced.
see i have this guy i met ingame a few weeks back on my friend list. we sometimes do bountyhunt together, which in reality isnt even possible, not only because you cant share rewards but also because nav points dont really spawn enough ships for more than one person. well whatever ... this friend of mine does nothing but bountyhunt. when i got my python on last wednesday (from normal trading btw) he totally wanted a python too. by that time i made about 100mil (90% normal trading 10% boutnyhunting) and his total assets, including his viper were 7 million, SEVEN MILION and he started shortly after release. now he might not be the hardest powergamer but still, come on.
it will be until summer or fall until he could afford a fully decked combat asp, probably spring or summer 2016 for his python. even the new "combat" ships will have internals close to an asp. so they will also cost between 20 and 30 mil fully decked.
isnt it hard enough to save up for a new puter in RL, or a car or a house ? we dont need that in games.
again: it is ok lux was nerved, its ok normal trading was nerved, its NOT ok tho that everythign else is STILL totally out of whack almost 2 months in.
sorry i know this is hardly the right place, but it had to come out all of a sudden.

Oh, no, it's definitely a broken mechanic - or to put it generously "unfinished." I have no problem with them going away or changing dramatically. I'll use it while it's there but won't be sorry to see it go.
I was remarking on the mentality of sharing all this information when sharing lessens ones own profit. Sharing with a friend or two is one thing, but putting good trades on reddit or here so they get ground to extinction is what I can't understand.

Telling a few friends, or even a guild is one thing. Broadcasting to "The 'Net" at large is quite another.
i am sorry, but i dont have any friends in game but one (friend list with 25 ppl never logging in anymore) or a guild. would give my left arm for either
