trading between players

Just trying to do this in the station how can we trade between each other in the game?

I thought the feature was implemented.

Drop cargo (as unstolen) for them to pick.

Just make sure you are well outside any no-fire zone.

Yeah, at the moment you need to abandon cargo rather than simply jettison and then the player who you want to trade with can collect it. Not ideal, but doable.

Hoping for a better solution long term though, as it's quite time consuming, and no credits can be transferred in payment either. I think the only trades that can be done at the moment have to be in goodwill.

Ah OK was going to try and help a mate run some cargo and split my profits with him. So was looking for credit trade.

Keep looking, that is a feature that doesn't exist, like so many other features.

I'm not sure if FD are planning a credit transfer facility at all. Main worry is online businesses popping up selling credits for cash (IRL).

Even so, a way to transfer goods between ships without abandoning and scooping would be nice. I'm pretty sure I've seen some NPC type 9's around which want commodities and all you need to do is fly near them to transfer for the Galaxy Average. Now, that's something that could work for business between cmdrs.

They're working on player wings right now....guess it will come with some form of credit transfer between pilots.

Online businesses will always occur with or without player funds transfer, at the moment dumping cargo is the only option to help your fellow CMDR.

Player wings I hope this be true defiantly will help my fellow CMDR's or if they not going to implement player funds transfer at least give us option to purchase a tractor beam. (Hate the dam scoop it's too frigin slow)

Is there any word when the "player wings" feature will be added? The ability to transfer credits between players is a very much needed feature! Transferring money via abandoned cargo is slow and painful.
