Despite fierce competition from NPC traders there are always gaps in the market for the player to fill and line their pocket with credits in the process whether it is using a small courier or a huge manufacturing complex. The production and exchange of wares is key to any healthy economy and the X-Universe is no different.

Trading with ship storage items happens with the TRADE menu when docking, while trading with inventory happens with the trader on a platform. Mining ships can have LIQUID or SOLID storage. Most ships have CONTAINER class storage which are most tradeable goods. Cargo is in your ships storage and can be seen in the ship info menu (Shift Enter for your current ship or INFO on map). It moves with you when you go (or later teleport!) from ship to ship. Inventory is listed with the SHIFT I menu under player information. Cargo is in your ship, while inventory is on you. It is important to understand the difference between Inventory (also known as items) and cargo (usually referred to as wares).

I didn't even have to look for its name to find the right one. Then again, after thinking about it, if you get your ship is under attack and have drill and same id then it will be hard to tell so maybe the ship ID wont be able to change for user which is a shame, unless they make it changable but must be uniqueįirst of all if any of my ships was under attack it used to blink red in every interface. Indeed race ships need it for missions to identify them if there is no target triangle or arrows pointing to the mission ship and there is more than 1 on the map how would you know which ship without an ID.īut as player ships wont be part of the missions and may have unique names, this should be free for the player to change at will. Also if you could edit that part you could also just remove it from the ship name and I believe CBJ would have pointed that out in his answer to my question.ĬBJ Pointed out that this if for race ships, did not mention player ships. I'm pretty sure the part in brackets is not part of the ship name itself for a couple of reasons. Use the old method of assigning letters and numbers to the ship type and job.
