Rare Commodities List!

As I've said elsewhere the point of rare goods is to be an alternative to regular commodoties. So instead of making a lot of short distance trips, you make smaller number of long distance trips. If anything rare goods is the trading system which should be the default in this game, given the volume of systems Elite has and as encouragement for people to get out there and travel rather than relentlessly farm the same tiny spot of space via mining/bounty hunting/basic trading.
I bet they are working on expanding the "rare goods", and what we see is just a hard coded seed set, and there will be procedural generation of rare goods. They will become more widespread but individually rare, so you might still see Lavian Brandy occasionally, but you will also come across Telenisatesian Sentient Peaches, Bd+29 2405ian Frog Spice, or a million other possibilities.
 
I play mostly solo, actually. Since i had massive issues with networking.

We'll see whether I can play tonight. I'll keep you posted of the results.

If it stays as it is, and still works, I'll try to get an Asp tonight. The route finding and plotting is a lot of fun. With an Asp I could try going 30 ly a jump, be even faster and haul 100 tons of cargo instead of 48.

I have an ASP with a 26 light year jump range and you can get all over the place very very fast. But looking at the amount of traffic around the systems that have the rares show something qyite interesting.

It seems that a large amount of people have gravitated back to the Aulin/Styx area where beta was and there has been almost 1000 ships there in the last 24 hours in the news feeds.

The rest of the areas where I have been today such as Toxiandji etc had anywhere from 5-60 ships.

So it looks like that the vast majority of the playerbase is still hanging about the old beta area and not moving too far away.
 
+1 to that idea , if u had to get friendly to buy it would lead to interesting roles, dealing in empire rare's or going for independents etc

I had suggested earlier today that perhaps that the rares should be unlocked with "allied" status which would mean more work to get it unlicked to make it worth while.

Just did Ethgeze -> Toxandji trip with 112T - T6
Forgot to request docking clearance in Tox, ... didn't manage to leave station in time. :p
Kaboom =)))

GG :D
 
I've managed to finish a very quick trading run between Toxandji and Ethgreze. This time I've used only five stops for the whole trip to test the mathematical model I've used for the other trips. For the curve fitting I've limited the search range for the parameters p3 and p4 according to the fitting parameters of the last three runs and left the first two parameters p1 and p2 unlimited for a full range search.

The model function is capable to describe the distance depencency of rare goods within a very good uncertainty. It's not perfect but it certainly serves my needs. I'm now preparing a new graph containing the fitted curves for all four commodities.

lol, easy to forget the basics.. Then get handed your a heavy dose of laser fire to remind you not to forget next time.
 

thanks for the translation! going to head over there tonight and get a pic

Not Lavian Brandy, some other secret commodity from a secret location.
.
Took it 178LY to Toxandji where they happen to also sell rare items.
.
17,484 profit per ton
.

also found this on an other post, any ideas where it might be? should be 178Ly from toxandji!

Heike, Brunel City, Ceremonial Heike Tea, 1920CR per Tonne.

Weird, they had a couple thousand units on my last trip and now its down to 156, and nobody has come through according to the traffic report.
 
Made It to Xihe here's the pic of Xihe Biomorphic Companions:

thanks for that, FD have changed the way rare commodities work in 1.05 could be because of that

I found 130 ly distance to be very good for balancing time / fuel / profit (15k as of 3rd december 3300) with a 16 ly jump range and a 4t fuel tank (Cobra).
