Hi guys, new forum member here. Apologies if there is already a thread for this, I did search but couldn't find anything, even in the Design Discussion Trading section of the forum archive.
I'm wondering whether at the moment all players can do is trade system generated goods/mods/weapons. From what i've read it seems players buy goods to sell to npcs for missions and sell to other players for their own missions.
Are the commodities, mods and weapons on the market initially generated by the game and then bought by players from npcs and possibly sold to other players thereafter. Obviously the mods and weapons are used for ships, but what is the current purpose of commodities like food, mined mineralsa and slaves etc etc?
I would like to know what is going to happen in the future re the market, will it be a lot more player driven and will the ability for players to manufacture their own mods and weapons from harvested materials be available. At the moment I get the feeling the only end purpose (thinking of a credit sink) of the market is for players to kit out their ships and get commodities and minerals for giving to npcs for missions.
