Trade Dividends

This week I started seeing "Trade Dividends" from my power at the local admin contact. I looked them up in the (I know, often wrong and/or incomplete) wiki, and it states they were some kind of trade bonus for wings, and there is no mention of powers. Also, I wasn't in a wing, I was doing it solo. I started seeing them yesterday I think, after I selling mined goods.

Is this new?
 
sure, new 5 months ago with Powerplay 2.0.
Not helpful.

It's how you get things like "+40% profit for mined goods" without that extra profit also affecting the BGS effect and your merit gain directly.
Very helpful, thanks. I was wondering how that works, I was just expecting a price increase in the market. This also explains why I am seeing this just now, yesterday was the first time I mined again since I gained the first Kaine rank that gives a bonus on mined goods - for Kaine, that's 55, and today I got rank 73 that gives 30% extra, which explains why those dividends were actually a decent chunk of money.

Thanks.
 
You literally asked if it was new. I answered when it was added. Yet I'm not helpful. Okay.

If you want want different answers, ask better questions.
I stated that I started seeing those now and was asking why. You just made a snarky remark to my last question of "is this new". At least that's how it reads, like "duh this is five months old". This wasn't helpful. Ian's answer was.

Honestly, I read @forbiddenlake's answer as 100% sincere and directly addressing your actual question. Nothing remotely snarky in it. The answer pointed you towards the source of the new dividends (PP2), which would likely have made it pretty trivial to find more info with a quick search, had Ian not chipped in with further detail.

Well sometimes written communication is difficult on the interwebs, more so in another language. If I was triggered for no reason, I apologize to @forbiddenlake . In my defense, I don't regard five months as "new", so in conjunction with that "sure" it read as snark to me. I was more expecting this was an undocumented addition in the last update.

No worries. You may find you've had some before and just not noticed (there's so much missing from the journals now, some of which has very recently been fixed, that I can't recall if the dividends feature in the journals in any meaningful way).
