I love the design of that trader spaceship.
I want to have one.
I will be very sad if that is an npc only ship.

You will be able to fly it, so no worries.

As in all the communities, there are billionaires. Nothing surprising in it

I admit I'm getting the same feeling. Hopefully the next Twitch stream on Thursday will show off some A4 features.

Thank you Pecisk.

It looks much better than the earlier concept art I saw of this ship. Much more robust.

Could be man. Well, whatever it is it looks rather spiffing...XD

Btw...a question. IF the scroll bar in the right side of the trading video is indicative of the page length....HOW MANY COMMODITIES IS THIS GAME GOING TO HAVE? JESUS

And here I was, thinking on using excel to start up a trading database.....
That's not going to happen now after looking at that monster of a database.

For the Hard Core traders, one can only hope that the game opens up to certain modifications. allowing trading trackers / pricing.
Or if its going to be pre built ingame, that would be better.

Based on this image:

I'd say they will probably provide a lot of analysis in game.

I really hope the final screens carry half as much color and information as is seen here, and in the galaxy map one too.

I like the orange floating displays in the alpha for simple stuff on the HUD, but I hope the deeper Starmap, Trading and Market interfaces are more elaborate like these early concepts.
