Learned Commanders, would you sell your excess data and mats if you could?
I just spent an enjoyable hour or so collecting things on a planet, so much so I had to twice sit there and dump excess items like carbon, nickel etc. It got me thinking, if you could sell the mats and data you have collected - would you? I am not talking about normal commodity trading here, I think it would have to be a black market thing. But there must be heaps of Commanders out there who aren't doing the Engineer runs or not that interesting in synthesising bits for their ship that are still collecting them. Things like the data scan nearly everytime you scan a ship. I tend to spend a few minutes at the end of each session clearing out the umm 'excess' (cos I can't say crap here can I
).
But if you could rock up to the local Black Market and offload the stuff you don't want to keep, even if you don't make a lot of credits on the deal, it has to be better both game and immersion wise that just ditching it in the ether!
Thoughts?????
