I looted some corundum ore from an npc bounty where can I sell it

#

trying to buy gold from Shubin SM0-18 to load into my C2 Herc, but when i hit confirm for purchasing, it says cargo transfer failed. am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug type thing? (yes i have the vehicle selected for loading)

#

only my first time trying to do this

graceful kiln
#

do you have any other cargo in the ship?

frail copper
#

no i didnt

graceful kiln
#

completely empty? Nothing in the cargo bay at all?

frail copper
#

yep

graceful kiln
#

And when you go back in to buy after the error, do you see the same amount available to buy?

frail copper
#

i tried numerous times, decided to take the ship off a bit, logged out in the bed and logged back in and went back and it was 0 in stock, so im guessing it just wasnt updating the volume

graceful kiln
#

Yeah, that's what I think it was. The Supply and Demand for any location is shared across servers, so you're competing with everyone who's using that spot

#

Gold is a very high demand commodity, so you'll have a rough time trying to trade it

#

better to shoot for Beryl, at one of the 4 spots that have effectively infinite supply for how fast it regens

frail copper
#

thank you for the advice 🙂

mossy radish
#

need advice on stuffing the c1 with cargo

#

i did it before and i cant do it again for some reason with a passage to the cockpit

stone adder
#

for the best cargo in ert's do i do group or the other one.

mossy radish
#

welp i did it

wintry radish
#

When you run into that error, try buying all but 1 unit of their current stock

#

And most of the time, it'll work

#

Idk if it's cloning stuff that was already purchased but hasn't updated properly yet, but it usually works

#

The inverse also works -- while I was messing around with the Hull C, I sold a station as many distilled spirits as they could buy, then realized that it still said zero and so sold them a full load -1 of distilled spirits again before the server ticked over and updated their count

do you have a chart which includes the new stations as well

spare cloud
#

So about 10mil for the most expensive one, about 500-1200k with the others

If you run processed food you're gonna need 52 runs to make 15 mils, probably over 70 considering the amount of bugs

# spare cloud

really need to stop sharing this chart since it's out of date with the addition of the jump point stations

#

the commodities of those four stations have changed in some cases

spare cloud
#

Jump points really don't add much to it

graceful kiln
#

no, but some of the commodities at those four don't match

spare cloud
#

If you want to update it, go ahead

#

If I had to stop using every outdated stuff, I would not even use tradetools anymore 🤷

#

It's not up to date, but it's ok accurate

#

Good enough IMO

#

If I were to edit it, I would, for sure, not add the JP stations

graceful kiln
#

I'm just sayin' to keep that in mind, or avoid sharing it without the disclaimer is all. Seraphim no longer buys Iron, and Everus no longer buys Helium, so the triangle's inaccurate to a degree. I don't have the skill to edit something like that and make it look nice to update it though

#

just made my own excel doc to track instead lol

spare cloud
#

Me neither yeah

wraith ice
graceful kiln
#

accuracy not 100% guaranteed

#

commented cells = limited demand/supply

How risky is gold cargo runs

Anyone know if you can trade ship components between players?

It seems perhaps unwise to advertise your extremely valuable cargo loading. There's only a couple of spots you can get gold.

#

can i access the cargo on an SRV (can i pick up some boxes and put them on the grid)? want to know before i pledge one

cedar flower

#

Yes

tight bear
#

It can however also tow 32 SCU container

tight bear
#

how would you sell that though?

cedar flower
#

Soon when cargo elevators are a thing it should be possible

tight bear
#

wanton helm
#

is cargo even worth it right now?
I just spent like an hour ferrying whatever I can from SCD1 to Area18 (Because SCD1 refuses to fill with gold) and I made maybe 50k

graceful kiln
#

it's rough to start out but once you have some cash, yeah

#

Beryl is what you really want to go for

#

effectively limitless supply, and once you're in a C2 you can earn anywhere from 250k-450k per run depending on your choices of destinations

graceful kiln
#

learn to use this site

#

specifically the commodities page

#

you can use the trade routes generator too, but without messing with the settings, it just recommends Gold at the top end

#

look up Beryl (or yoru desired commodity), and you'll see where it's bought and sold. Should become clear from there

wanton helm
graceful kiln
#

The site may be slightly out of date, however - didn't have any, or didn't sell any? Did it sell beryl, but was out of stock?

#

and setting aside that

#

the ideal places to buy - because of potential supply issues - are the ones that have the biggest max inventory and refresh rate

#

Ryder or Woodruff, or the two microtech outposts

native field
#

Can someone tell me how long do I have to wait for the shop inventory to restock at a commodities area

graceful kiln
#

depends on the area, and the refresh rates are per minute

#

but you're competing with everyone else ingame, not just those on your server

native field
#

Oh wait so if I wait for it to refresh then I buy it out it buys out for very other server?

graceful kiln
#

essentially, yes, as I understand it

#

but there might be other people trying to do the same

native field
#

So I have to basically buy it before other people do?

graceful kiln
#

very low supply, and very low demand when selling

#

Is widow also a drug?

graceful kiln
#

yes

native field
#

Ahhh I want to get something not illegal

#

Will I be able to since I have a cutless black

graceful kiln
#

just about everything that's sold at places that sell any drug will also be a drug

#

lol your ship doesn't matter

native field
#

Oh ok it’s just I’m using sc trade tools

#

And it only is recommending drugs

#

For the cutless black

graceful kiln
#

that's because the cutlass has a small cargo hold, and it's set to show the highest profit you can make with that amount of cargo

#

that's gonna be drugs since they have the highest profit margin per SCU

#

you can adjust the filters to remove vices

native field
#

How?

#

I do t see any of those settings

graceful kiln
#

you're on the Trade Routes page I assume

native field
#

Yea

graceful kiln
#

you haven't considered clicking on anything here before?

#

Then what

graceful kiln
#

see where it has a dropdown for types

#

and then below it, a toggle for 'avoid selection'?

#

select vices

#

make sure avoid selection is clicked

#

that removes vices from the suggestions

native field
#

What are vices?

graceful kiln
#

vices are drugs

#

drugs are illegal

native field
#

Oh ok got it

#

Is there any way to get caught with them lol

graceful kiln
#

yes

#

and the places that buy and sell them don't have armistice zones, and players like to camp them

What do i do if i bought some cargo and went to a station which the sc tool told me to go to but the item is in no demand ?

spare cloud
#

No demand isn't "we don't buy", it's "we have too much of this" but stocks will go down with time

brave stream
#

How long does it usually take ?

spare cloud
#

Between 5 and 15 minutes

brave stream
#

I see

spark wigeon
#

Is it me or is there a whole of walking and moving your ship from one spot to another for getting cargo on your ship when it probably shouldn't be this complicated

zenith maple
#

Not sure I follow. they are introducing tractorbeams on ships, and you have auto load/unload, what is complicated?

spark wigeon
#

Like docking and walking to a terminal to purchase the cargo, then needing to go back to your ship to move it to load the cargo

zenith maple
#

seems very true to how things are handled today

#

being able to do "online" shopping from your ship would be nice, but I see the point in having people walk inside to make stations feel more alive. As long as you are not doing a preapproved pickup for a mission type of thing, I dont see the issue personally.

worthy scroll
#

Eventually it's all going to have to be loaded manually. Honeslty can't wait for that, bring on the cargo Tetris!

zenith maple
#

I thought it would still have autoloading for a cost? both in time and money?

#

manually loading a hull-e would be a game session alone

wintry radish
#

Well, the Hull series specifically is really annoying

#

since you have to dock, go in, buy cargo, get back on board, move to load cargo, go to next station, dock, go on board, sell cargo, get back on board, move to unload cargo

#

and if you have multiple types of cargo you then have to repeatedly dock and go on board to sell each type of cargo individually since you can't queue up multiple sales at the same time for some reason

#

Then undock, unload, redock, sell, repeat

#

Worst part is, you can't have a co-pilot just stay on the ship while you go onto the station to arrange the transation. Only you can contact the cargo channel and get a loading/unloading area

#

and only you can buy/sell cargo for the ship to carry, too

#

So the entire crew does literally nothing except for the ship owner who has to handle every step of the process personally, over and over again

#

And if any other ships get too close to you at any point during the loading/unloading process? You're now considered to be "obstructing the cargo bay" because I guess it's your fault for queuing up something for the cargo bay to be doing in the first place

#

so your ship gets impounded and you have to EVA back to the station so you can resummon it

#

So with that experience in mind, I'm really not looking forward to manual loading

#

Because I can almost guarantee you there'll be a ton of that same "can only purchase/sell one thing at a time" nonsense and running back and forth between buying and loading if you try to take more than just one kind of cargo

#

At least other crew on your ship will be able to help, though, so it'd be a step in the right direction in that regard.

tight bear
#

are eggs or maze worth more

graceful kiln
#

Almost all of the current Hull trading loop is definitely temporary lol

#

Bey9nd loading yourself or paying to have it loaded, i would be shocked if they didnt move the transaction part to the mobiglass, or at least let you do all the transacting you need to in one strip aboard the stati9n

#

Because yeah right now it is fucking dumb

I can't find anyone with this issue but it happens to me every time. When I buy cargo and sell it, it works and physically disappears from my ship but the commodity terminal still says my ship has SCU on it

Happens every single time after 1 cargo run unless I reclaim my ship, guessing there's no workaround?

you'll eventually be able to carry other ships on it - more intended for freight purposes, but people have designs of making it like a one-off parasite carrier. I don't see that being all too useful though, better just taking a ship with a hangar so people don't have to just sit in the fighters the whole time

#

the Hulls are cargo ships, that you might be able to do one or two other things with. I wouldn't buy them for any purpose other than that, not primarily anyway

I was hauling gold and beryl in a C2 a couple days ago and a RL situation came up and I let the game connection time out with the ship in deep space. Thought the load was gone for good but decided to not claim the ship for a couple days. Sure am glad I did because the server I was on finally 30k ed and gave the ship back to me with the cargo.

By the time you make one full run of gold with a C2, you can make at least 3-4 full beryl runs

Question: I've been having alot of trouble snapping cargo to ships using my tractor tool, but my friends dont seem to be having this issue. maybe i pressed a cargo snapping hotkey by mistake? is there such a thing to toggle snap cargo ? ships ive tested this on are 890J, 600i, Corsair, Carrack, A2, C2, C1, Catapillar. 😦 is my character broken? its been happening now for 3 days

Not because it's Brio's does it give you the right to destroy people's ships

As long as they press charges obviously

ashen bloom
# spare cloud As long as they press charges obviously

lol i won against a griefer ambushing me on the ground and i don't get crimestat cause i press the left bracket to press charges WHILE shooting him, but good to know that it needs CS3+, so this means CS2 is still considered as "friendly"?

spare cloud
ashen bloom
#

no, i got a prompt to press charges when he starts shooting at me

#

then i killed him, no cs for me

#

it was actually a 1v2, one person was flying f8c (already red) and starts shooting my ship while i was engaged with his buddy on the ground

spare cloud
#

Yeah doesn't mean that you didn't get CS because you pressed charges

ashen bloom
#

oh then how

spare cloud
#

Just that they didn't necessarly pressed charges

#

Or that they had CS3 already

#

In that case, they should have a bounty on their had and appear hostile at all times

so even if i get shot and pressed charges, i will still get cs when i kill my attacker?

Lil bit! It's supposed to be it's own loop. My advice is to get a defender, 'cause the second they shoot you they become red and a target.

Question, when stacking physical cargo in ships is it still a issue where you if you stack anything other than the same commodity it may bug at terminal? From YouTube videos it was advised to only stack vertical the same items

#

if you're quite forgetful, don't stack different types of commodities cause if you sell the bottom one FIRST, everything in that stack will be gone

my suggestion is just to stick with one commodity per trip tbh. Plan it right and you'll never run into supply or demand issues

The more SCU a ship can carry, the more options you have to turn a decent profit. High margin commodities like Gold will make you the most no matter how much hold space, but trading them in bulk also gets more difficult as the buy-in price to fill your hold gets more expensive and it becomes harder to get enough due to limited supply.

If you can trade gold and are fine with the monetary risk, it'll get you more than most other legal commodities, but with a MAX you have a decent amount of cargo capacity so you could also make some OK money on other commodities with a smaller profit margin as well, and they might be more readily available and less risky (due to fewer pirates along the route).

Your call.

Most rewarding routes also are the most used and most pirated. Stock is often low because of this

#

When you arrive somewhere stock is low, just wait 5-15 minutes and it'll go up

Wait in front of the trading terminal, updating it every so often

anything with cargo space can make money. whether it's worth your time is another matter, but I'd say the c1 is decent for it. you wouldn't be making taurus or c2 amounts of money, but it'll still be something while also being defendable and perhaps taking some bounties on the side.

Waste and scrap are being sold by stations, but you can sell some refined metals, minables, and some consumer products like food, distilled spirits, medical supplies and similar. Check wikis, or write down what stations usually sell. Only difference in this may be the jump point stations.

@tender sky not sure about that. I’ve accepted bounty contracts on towing players on multiple occasions. If you don’t pay off the fines, enough CS2 can add up to a CS3, though it can still be paid off at a terminal.

now what do I do?

graceful kiln
#

how much cash you got to work with?

civic crane
#

I still haven't bought it so about 3.6 mil

graceful kiln
#

well

#

what you can trade depends a lot on how much capital you have available

civic crane
#

shoot

graceful kiln
#

simplest answer though: Use this website.

civic crane
#

so that would leave me with about 3.5k

graceful kiln
civic crane
#

350k*

graceful kiln
#

ok that's more usable than 3.5k lol

civic crane
#

yeah

graceful kiln
#

anyway, use the site. The Trade Routes tool lets you configure and it suggests the best routes to do based on the settings you set on the left

civic crane
#

should I go all in?

graceful kiln
#

I wouldn't

civic crane
#

or go with like 100k first

graceful kiln
#

Most I usually go for - when I'm following my own advice - is at most 50% of my float

#

at any given moment, too

#

so if I have 200k, and then lose 100k to something

#

my new max is 50k

civic crane
#

too risky for you otherwise?

graceful kiln
#

I mean, it's an alpha, and you can always earn the money back, so who cares in the long run

#

but yeah

#

I don't always follow that rule though lol

#

and with PES or whatever you're much less at risk to 30ks and such since it saves your cargo

#

so long as you don't claim your ship (and it isn't out in the ether somewhere inaccessible) you can always get to your ship with its cargo intact

#

since sometimes it'll drop you at your home while your ship is sent back to where you left from or something

#

anyway, use the tool. Click around the site, figure things out

civic crane
#

it's telling me to get some SLAM

#

isn't that illegal?

graceful kiln
#

remember the settings down the left

#

you can tell it to skip illegals

#

and to avoid limited demand/supply issues too

civic crane
#

but doesn't the taurus have like an unscanable thing on it?

graceful kiln
#

yeah that ain't implemented

#

and that's also not the issue

#

you can only sell vices in significant quantities or buy them (period) In places that have no armistice

#

ie: free PvP

#

also, very not worth the effort IMO

#

use the tool, understand the information it presents, and then use your judgment

civic crane
#

so I should go with legal stuff for now

#

but how do you avoid getting caught with illegal stuff

graceful kiln
#

the issue isn't getting caught dude

#

it's getting blasted by players camping the sites lol

civic crane
#

oooooh yeah

#

I've heard about that

#

so where exactly can you filter out the illegals?

graceful kiln
#

did you not click around on that page at all?

civic crane
#

yeah?

graceful kiln
civic crane
#

you said bottem left

graceful kiln
#

one click

civic crane
#

gotcha

#

thx

graceful kiln
#

click all the things

#

figure out what they do, etc

#

also, use the Commodities page to your advantage

#

it'll tell you the inventories/demand amounts, and their refresh rates

#

which is important for efficiency. If you have to wait around to fill up your hold, it ain't worth trading IMO

civic crane
#

and should I upgrade my quantum drive?

rarely a bad idea. Use https://www.erkul.games/ to figure out what one's best for you

# rocky moat okay so I am not forced to go to another scrapyard?

When it was the hayday of salvage contracts being absolutely full of drugs I normally parked my cargo ship with said drugs, stored it and set my respawn to that station then took a C8R with no gear on me to the scrapyards to check the demand.
If the yard was hot I lost nothing and the C8R respawns in 3 mins.
If there was demand or it had just refreshed I backspaced to the station with cargo ship and flew out asap to sell.

#

You can also convince a friend to check for you before you commit to landing something huge at a scrapyard

No, there is 1 more turret on the M2. The C2 has a co-pilot seat that controls 1 front facing underside remote turret, and 1 rear facing topside remote turret. In the M2 there is another "gunner seat" directly behind the pilot which controls a single nose gun turret (still 2x S4s). So the M2 has 1 more turret than the C2.

I don't think you can see demand of an item unless you use Sc Trade Tool or something like that (a website btw). But you can see what can be sold at places you land at by going to the trade terminal (Admin, Tdd or another one that says Commodities or something on it), and click the sell tab on the right side. It says how much stock the have, how much they pay per unit sold to them. Out of stock or low inventory is good I believe, means that you should be able to sell more to them before needing to wait for their stock to refresh

Is it possible to eject cargo?

Oh okay

#

Where can I sell Slam?

mellow anchor
#

is demand fixed?

grand frigate
#

Seems not, just checked at CRU L4 station to sell drugs and still no demand

#

So is selling stuff broken? Im at brios and it says no demand. im ok waiting if its a supply issue, but if its a bug, ill leave

tall stratus
#

It's a grand sabotage effort disguised as a bug

silver echo
#

Definitely bugged, has been since thursday/friday

#

But yeah likely sabotage because they hate to see us win

tall karma
#

They're probably trying to block sales to prevent people from whining as majorly when they wipe for 3.22

#

Not that have to wipe, but many of us have been pleading for one.

tall stratus

I honestly just want my ASOP terminal cleared out. Bought many / most of the ships in game, and now they're a massive clutter after IAE and I'd like to narrow it down to just the ships I use and none of the noise.

tall stratus
#

Stop knee jerking every issue with a wipe

tall karma
#

lol, don't be salty. I'm not the only person that sees there's a need for a wipe. The fact that I have managed to buy over 300mil in ships in games is demonstration that the wipe is needed - and no bug was exploited. CIG just overtuned cargo rewards for salvage and bounty hunting.

#

It's not like we duped our millions.

tall stratus
#

I never implied money gains through duplicitous means

#

I just implied a lot of you ask for the wrong things

#

CIG is really wanting to clam down with the whole wipe thing

#

I’ve observed that if you’re not seeing the “commodity price alert” notifications via mobiglass regularly than supply/demand is not working correctly

#

I have no proof but I’ve been trying to trade a lot the past few days and that’s the pattern I’ve noticed

ornate halo
#

👍

#

Just meant that more like you can use it as a visual cue whether or not it’s worth trying to trade instead of waiting for hours for no purpose

They will not wipe for 3.22, I would say it's almost certain at this point. They would have announced it, and despite what all you salty tryhards want I don't really see a good reason CIG would choose to wipe this patch. The database seems to be working fine and at this point it doesn't really matter how much money people have. I think they're hoping to not wipe until 4.0

alpine fractal
#

Now hold on partner, I don't think a wipe would be good either, especially since this "salty tryhard" has 21K in game atm XD.

#

I'm more just commenting on how bounty hunting is always borked, and wish it would be a stable but somewhat worthwhile thing

#

Plus once a lot of other mechanics (like insurance) come into play, there'll be a constant cash drain that should balance out some bits of the game

grand frigate
#

For now i just want the commodities refresh to be back, being unable to sell because of no demand is a pain

alpine fractal
#

yeah it's annoying AF, especially 'cause it's affecting selling ship weapons

grand frigate
#

Affecting too much things, weapons, cargo and other stuff and maybe recycled material in the long term ?

alpine fractal
#

Oh gods that would be horrid if it spreads to RMC

#

ATM it seems to be affecting the high-ballers from Bounty missions, so Maze, SLAM, WiDoW, Aclutoxin, etcetera

#

Which is fair, since, as said above, getting ~1 mil per missions is just the tiniest, littilest bit borked to the moon and back

#

but it's sucky that it means any non-bounty traders get shafted

grand frigate
#

Yes bounty boxes is unbalances like salvage was before
But yeah traders are blocked, everything like gold and beryl disappeared

alpine fractal
#

wait actually? That's f**ked

#

Wow! Damn that's not good!

ruby dirge
# radiant valley They will not wipe for 3.22, I would say it's almost certain at this point. They...

reason for me would be that a lot, and i mean a LOT of people(check on the issue council just how many people reporting they cant sell their stacks of drugs xD) got rich very quick since first we had the salvaging unbalance where you could get stacks of drugs easily sold, and then the bounty missions that still give stacks of drugs in a little longer timespan.

The Problem with being rich quick, means people grind one aspect of the game way too much, have all the money to buy all the ships, and then lose interest in playing any further cause they reached "end game" and don't play this game for the testing of it, they play it as being a game. Hence CIG losing out a lot of players that do the gameloops, making things being less tested

mossy palm
#

Doesnt help that bunker have been also bugged this patch.

ruby dirge
#

thats just my 2 cents though, got back a month ago to this game after a 2 year break and been spending quite some time on it, found out last week about the bounties and made about 50 million in said week, which honestly makes the ships i bought not feel earned if that makes sense

ruby dirge

#

Got a question, has anymone managed to get mining outpost ATC to give you landing pad for C2?

ruby dirge
#

but the delivery missions, the trading, mining, hand mining, cave exploration all the other game loops and things that also still need player activity to find bugs and see if issues are fixed are on the backburner for the gross population of the players, cause they see the $$ signs and go bounty hunting

True, though they also need to test gameplay loops and how long it takes for peple to reach those loops. If it takes 15 minutes for someone to get from HRT's to having a carrack, that kinda tosses all balance out the window.

Plus, part of the game is seeing how quickly people get cash and subsequently get bored, and making it so there's a constant enough cash drain to make people need to keep playing to get what they want!

graceful kiln
#

I'm quite confident that these 'unbalanced' earnigns loops are entirely, 100% intentional. No better way to get players to test the mechanics that you need them to test than to throw them a bone. We'll get a wipe at some point, but it's worth remembering we're far from playing a final version of the PU, and I seriously doubt they're losing many sales. Anyone that might be put off from buying an expensive ship because they can easily get it now, in Alpha, wasn't gonna be buying that ship for cash anyway

iron rune
#

I think the economy (when the game works) is grossly unbalanced. I think it's done on purpose to drive players to test specific aspects of the game.

That's just speculation from me though. If released to live in its current state, structural salvage will also be grossly unbalanced. Players will try it out naturally and bugs/experience will be discovered more quickly

#

Oh @graceful kiln beat me to it XD

graceful kiln
#

Yeah

#

we don't have an economy currently, and won't until the Live version is in a state closer to a 'finished' release. There's honestly no need for it

alpine fractal
#

These points are also fair AF, and actually make sense compared to what I said

#

but there's also a balance that needs to be struck, and the bounty debacle probably pushes it a bit over the edge

#

(I say all of this as someone who's gotten above 1 mil all of one wipe, for some reason fighting against something that benifits me)

iron rune
#

Some people simulate a wipe for themselves by not letting themselves use a ship they already have on a new patch until they earn that much. They also might give the price of that ship to another player when they pretend to "buy" it

People are figuring out how to keep the experience fun for themselves

alpine fractal
#

This is a very good point, and something that will probably happen in the full release

mossy palm
#

Dont forget that even after "buying" the ship, there is money to be grinded for upgrades to components too.

alpine fractal
#

though I gotta say, I like the bounties having cargo, 'cause before I learned it was meta me and a bud grinded a bit to buy a hull A to then go in and actually transfer goods

alpine fractal

yup! Thought it looked familiar but my brain turned on only a second ago

so has CIG made any comments on the terminals?

AFAIK, nope.

# radiant valley That is a convicing point but I'd say especially right now with the holidays mor...

Fully see your point and after reading the comments after yours this also all holds true.

Personally speaking , I wouldn’t mind a wipe but like earlier people said above, this whole rocking the economy from salvage to bounty to the next thing might also be a 200iq move by CIG to test and push people to play certain aspects of the game.

Only thing I Wished for if that’s the case, is if it was more apparent with any type of communication on their end, cause the sudden stop of demand for just drugs that people mainly made from bounty feels abrupt and purposefully done. Which makes me worry the next step would be to nerf the whole bounty loop into the ground which would be a shame.

Like another person said earlier, it is hella fun and exiting finding a bounty with a massive cargo of drugs, it just needs to be rare enough so it also has more value for the player as an unique event that they will be extra excited about cause it’s rare

ruby dirge
mossy radish
#

they are internally testing increased ship prices sooo...

ruby dirge
#

from what i seen they said it was only for the EPTU, those prices

mossy radish
#

yes, it didnt seem intentional. it leaked into that build

ruby dirge
#

plus CIG has shown in the past they arent as short sighted to just make it even harder for newer players to buy ships

#

imagine starting on 3.22 with increased ship prices, with all the current big money makers fixed and having to earn 4 million for a first ingame bought ship, whilst doing box missions in your aurora

dull wadi
#

where can you sell weevil eggs?

mossy radish
#

theyre definitely not going to do it 3.22. i didnt say that. im saying that theyre testing it out internally for the future

ruby dirge
#

ahh gotcha

#

sorry misread that. Saw a lot of buzz about people fearmongering that 3.22 was gonna have triple the ship prices as is in EPTU

ruby dirge
#

all the demand for drugs has dried up since friday in game, not refreshing their stocks so no one is able to sell drugs as of friday

dull wadi
#

I've been able to sell other drugs though

mossy radish
#

sucks for me because i enjoy the loop

dull wadi
#

today

ruby dirge
#

same Unstowed, same. Its like gacha, seeing what you get from what ship

#

what kind of drugs ?

#

altrutoxin seems to be the only one where the demand frees up a little bit over time

#

all the others seem hard locked

dull wadi
#

etam, slam, altru, neon

ruby dirge
#

🤔 big quantities?

dull wadi
#

maybe not massive but it sold

ruby dirge
#

like this many people arent able to sell any drugs this weekend, and that is the people that put in effort to report and go trough the effort of putting it in there

ruby dirge
dull wadi
#

just sold

ruby dirge
#

gotcha

dull wadi
#

can't remember the exact amount I sold

ruby dirge
#

did you do it often this week or first few batches sold?

dull wadi
#

literally like 30m ago I sold that stuff

#

this is what I got out of them
etam 85k
altru 160k
neon 43k

#

not a lot but the day before I couldn't sell any xD

ruby dirge
#

gotcha, yeah those are smaller numbers, still some of it apparently yeah

#

might be slowly getting back on then? I dunno. What server and what location?

dull wadi
#

yeah maybe

#

EU

ruby dirge
#

also sorry for the barrage of questions haha , trying to wrap my head around the whole thing

dull wadi
#

but its synced between servers no?

ruby dirge
#

yes and no, havent seen a clear statement on that from CIG and personally never ran into any demand issues untill this friday, and 250 SCU per 16 minutes would be way more full if it was linked between server the past weeks with everyone on the salvage grind and the bounty grind

#

but some people say its linked so i dunno, personally dont think so since 250 scu in 16 minutes is filled by one person alone if you have a good ERT mission, let alone the hundreds of server all together

#

so we wouldve seen the demand filled way more often last couple weeks if that was the case.

silver echo
#

The only reason I have to think servers aren't linked is that I used to, before this bug, could jump from server to server while bedlogging in my ship and sell once demand was met in one server

ruby dirge
#

yeah that as well

dull wadi
#

I just wanna sell the first eggs I've found kekw

grand frigate
silver echo
silver echo
dull wadi
#

how much do the eggs even go for?

ruby dirge
#

110k per scu

dull wadi
#

damn

ruby dirge
#

also just managed to sell a tiny fraction of drugs as well, but it was on a fresh server

young steeple
ruby dirge
#

don't matter friend it was like 5 scu of e'tam and 2 scu of widow

#

and was on a fresh server, now it all full again with no demand

unborn coyote
ruby dirge
#

its broken af though. There is no fun be had to make 100 million in a week . What to do after that? sure, the first 100 mil is fun sure, buy all ships and fly m for abit. But that novelty wears out really fast for a lot of players, which makes m bored and they stop playing

#

never talked about timewalls though dunno where you got that from, all i think they need to do is tune down that every other ship in ERT and VHRT has its full cargo filled with drugs, and make it a 1/10 or 1/20 encounter, or a special mission after doing a certain amount of bounties in a row. Just spitballing there. All i know is that the current state is too OP, no matter how people try to spin it, earning up to 20 million a ERT bounty if your lucky is just bonkers

delicate girder
ruby dirge
#

only managed to sell like 5 scu for the past 2 hours, was just after a server reset and after that no more demand freed up

delicate girder
#

You mean like a server 30k ed?

ruby dirge
#

so it still going on, i expect like tomorrow this will either be adressed or fixed

#

yup, got a fresh server with over 20 server fps and low pop

#

everyone woke up and was standing at the ship reclamation pads at the space station, and i raced to devlin

blissful wadi
#

and like what @ruby dirge said, it stops being fun rather quickly

#

and is completely unbalanced to other gameplay loops as well

ruby dirge
#

i mean exploiting is a bridge too far for my taste, since it's using a game loop provided to us. Exploiting would be the million duping people did back in the day

blissful wadi
#

I think that the ships that are in ERTs/VHRTs should have no cargo or just the cheap stuff.

#

should have defined my terms

ruby dirge
#

i mean it adds a big fun aspect imo to have a small chance of finding a drug ship once every so often, but it has to be rare

delicate girder
blissful wadi
#

that can work as well

#

I mean, I was about to go do illegal cargo with my C1, running drugs by buying them somewhere and transpolrting them somewhere else, but I guess thats not gonna happen

ruby dirge
#

still if you read up a bit people made a very solid argument for this maybe being intentional by CIG to drive people toward testing bounties and getting cargo out of the bays of the soft-death ships

blissful wadi
#

I mean, yeah

ruby dirge
blissful wadi
#

but still, making it have you make 20 million is kinda insane

ruby dirge
#

oh 100% agree on that haha
