Every every Space Station advertises a number of ever-changing Contracts. Some offer rewards for completing a certain task: others offer goods or land at a price. You can accept as many contracts at one time as you like: all currently active contracts will appear at the bottom left of your screen. As you complete contracts, they will disappear from that list.

Contents

Passenger Transport

Deliver passengers to space station destinations to receive a cash reward. Your space craft can only hold a certain amount of passengers, and space must be available in order to accept the contract. Bigger ships hold more people, and make you more money.

Package Delivery

Accept a package delivery and you will receive a reward when you arrive at the destination. Packages do not use up your regular hold space, so accept as many contracts of this type as you like.

Product Supply

These are contracts requesting a specific product at a specific price. They can still be accepted if you don't currently have the goods: when you return to the same space station with the requested product, you will receive the reward. These contracts offer an alternative to trading through the Market, and can fetch a much higher price. And unlike the market, the price won't fluctuate: so if you see a good price offered, you can accept the contract and return at your leisure.

Rare Material Trade

There are several rare materials in the game that can't be purchased at the market or mined/farmed on planets: Farming Robots, Mining Robots, Hydrogen, Silicon, Magnesium and Uranium.

There are contracts offering some of these items for sale, and contracts offering to purchase.

Some items can be manufactured on your Space Station (Farming and Mining robots).

Some Obtained by skimming the suface of gas planets (Hydrogen).

Some obtained be Mining Asteroids (Silicon, Magnesium and Uranium).

Depending on the contract, you can often sell these items at a much higher price than you buy them, so can be a great way to turn over some quick cash.

Each contract varies in amount for sale or purchase, and will use up space in your hold.

You don't need to currently have the cash to buy or goods to sell to accept the contract: just return when you can fulfil.

Land Deeds

Before you can settle on a planet, you need to purchase a land deed. You don't have to currently have the money to accept the contract, so if you see a good offer it can pay to accept it.

The Ceres Land Deed is only available via Susan Steele durring her missions

Blueprints

To build your settlement, you must purchase a blueprint for 13 of the 14 available building types. You can only get the Grain Farm blueprint through the tutorials.

You only need to buy the blueprint once, then you can build as many of that building type as you like on any planet you own a land deed for.

You do not have to have the money to accept the contract.

The available Blueprints are:-

  • Grain Farm - for use on Ceres - only available from Susan Steele
  • Iron Mine - for use on Vulcan
  • Meat Farm - For use on Apollo
  • Vegetable farm - for use on Ubertus
