Each time you sell metal goods(Iron, Aluminium, Titanium, Carbon) to a local market, their Industry level increases, and the Local Market will , in turn, sell more of the goods that system produces per day. Each time you sell food goods to a Local Market, their Agriculture level decreases which also increases Local Market stocks for sale of the food product that system produces.
  
Each time you sell metal goods to an NPC space station, their Industry level increases, and they produce more goods per day. Each time you sell food goods to an NPC space station, their Starvation level decreases which also affects production.

When you select a location, the map automatically centers your attention to the star system with the colony. RAMtown is selling iron for an excellent price in Prime and the purple line attached to the star system Veritas indicates there is a player-constructed warp gate, so the colony is accessible without needing to use hyperjump. To access this location, you can click Jump and activate your hyperdrive, or close the map and use the warp gate system. If you plan to make multiple trips to this star system, clicking the Bookmark button will save this location in your Bookmarks list.

From the map (M key) you will see a button that says “Stock market search” After clicking on this button, the search tool comes up.

[[File:SM7.png]]
  
The first button defaults to “buy” – searching under buy will show you what the stock markets want to buy and how much they will pay.
 
Changing this to Sell, will list items the stock markets will sell to you, and how much they charge.
 
After the “buy/sell” button there is a box listed under “ Range (Sectors).
 
This limits how far away the system will look for stock markets when you conduct a search.
 
If you set the value to a very large number, 1000 for example, your search will bring back listings for all stock markets that fit your search criteria.
 
The rest of the options are pretty self-explanatory.
 
  
After finding the stock market you want to buy or sell to, click on the name. The map will then center on the system that the stock market is located in. You will need a ship with a hyperdrive and enough fuel to reach the system.  If you have the requirements, just click the Jump button on the highlighted planet.

When you are close enough, an Open Stock Market button will become active at the bottom right of your screen.
  
After Jumping to the system with a Stock Market, you will need to click the Auto pilot button, and warp to the colony that has the Stock Market.

Ascent:TSG has many types of markets to exchange goods between players and NPC's.

Contents

[edit] Local Market

The local market is a Space station based NPC market to buy and sell certain materials. Each station in the inner-8 systems sells one type of product which corresponds to the resources produced by the settlement of that system. Each SS Local Market will purchase other inner-8 resources for at least a minimum price, in most cases, for a profit to the seller. Here is a list of the resources sold corresponding to the station name and system:

SSPlatoLM.png
Station System Sells Price
SS Andromeda Ceres Grain 80
SS Archimedes Vulcan Iron 150
SS Archon Pomona Fruit 110
Cabal Trade Station Janus A
SS Elysium Veritas Titanium 675
SS Mica Vestra Aluminium 400
SS Orion Ubertas Vegetables 200
SS Plato Apollo Meat 300
SS Solaris Sol Invictus Carbon 825

The picture to the right shows a standard Local Market at the SS Plato Space Station in Apollo:

Prices change at :00, :15 and :45 of every hour. When you sell goods, you receive a percentage of bonus credits from your current Trading Skill level. As you sell more goods, your Trading Skill increases, and you receive a higher percentage of bonus credits. When you reach a new level, a message will appear showing your improved Trading Skill level along with the amount of bonus credits you received for the current trade.

Each time you sell metal goods(Iron, Aluminium, Titanium, Carbon) to a local market, their Industry level increases, and the Local Market will , in turn, sell more of the goods that system produces per day. Each time you sell food goods to a Local Market, their Agriculture level decreases which also increases Local Market stocks for sale of the food product that system produces.

Silicon is the only item purchased at all Local Markets that is not produced in a settlement. It is only acquired by Asteroid Mining.

[edit] Galactic Market

The Galactic Market allows players to buy and sell resources (Material), ship modules (Ship Parts), and Ships to and from other players.

Clicking on the Stock Market Search map button brings up this interface:

Click on the first Buying button, then select either Buying (colony buys from your cargo hold) or Sell (colony sells to you and places the item in your cargo hold).

In this example, we choose to find a seller of iron within one sector range of my current location:

Since the universe is a big place, we can expand our search, so now the range is 999 sectors:

When you select a location, the map automatically centers your attention to the star system with the colony. RAMtown is selling iron for an excellent price in Prime and the purple line attached to the star system Veritas indicates there is a player-constructed warp gate, so the colony is accessible without needing to use hyperjump. To access this location, you can click Jump and activate your hyperdrive, or close the map and use the warp gate system. If you plan to make multiple trips to this star system, clicking the Bookmark button will save this location in your Bookmarks list.

When you arrive in the destination star system, open up the Autopilot and look for the colony that has the iron; in this case, RAMtown(colony).

When you arrive, look down to the planet and follow the yellow Stock Market beam to the surface of the planet.

When you are close enough, an Open Stock Market button will become active at the bottom right of your screen.

Clicking the Open Stock Market button reveals the goods the colony has for sale (left side Buy buttons) and the goods the colony wants to purchase (right side Sell buttons). Similar format to the Local Market user interface, you can choose the maximum or a certain amount of a resource to buy/sell.

When you buy or sell to a Stock Market, the owner gets a message in the mail, telling then what was bought or sold, who it was from or to, and the amounts.
