Within each inner system is a Space Station. These stations are a hub for trade in the local area, consisting of a Galactic Market, Local Market, Contract Board, and a Shipyard.

You can also purchase your own Star Base

Contract Board

The contract board lists available jobs, of varying reward. See Contracts page for more information.

Place Sell Order

This is where you place items on the galactic market for sale

  • Material - Select goods you have in the item hangar to place onto the galactic market stating amount and price per item
  • Ship modules - Sell those modules you have built in your space station or removed from ships that have been upgraded. As modules can only be moved about by being fitted to a ship, they will need to be removed from your ship in the 'Refit Ship' submenu in the 'Shipyard'.
  • Ship - Sell your unused space craft or space craft built at you shipyard. they will need to be in your 'Hangar'

Galactic Market

This is where you can buy goods put up for sale by other players. Being Galactic means you view item located anywhere in the galactic system.

You will have to travel to where the goods are so take note of the location

  • Material - You can buy any item that can be carried in your cargo hold, The items will become available in the 'Item Hangar'
  • Ship Modules - Purchase upgrades for your ship, they will appear in the 'refit ship' menu within the shipyard menu
  • Ships - Purchase whole complete ships other players are selling, they will become available in you 'Hangar'


The easiest method to learn the basics of the Galactic Market:

Local Market

From the market you can buy and sell basic resources. Prices will fluctuate with normal economic flows, availability of resources is dependent on production in that system.

The easiest method to learn the basics of the Local Market: Waervyn's Local Market Video

Refer to Buying & Selling for more information.

Shipyard

Nothing beats 'New Space Craft Smell': you can purchase new Space Ships at the Ship Yard. Like goods and contracts, the prices and availability vary, so if you're looking to upgrade it pays to 'window shop' for a while to get an idea of a good price to expect to pay.

Your old ship will be placed in the Hangar of the space station for your use at a later time if desired

Refit Ship

Once docked, there is a 'Refit Ship' link. This allows purchased modules to be fitted to your ship and unused modules to be removed.

You will not be able to undock from the space station unless the ship is fully equipped.

Item Hangar

The Item Hanger operates the same way a warehouse does, Materials placed in here can then be selected in the 'Place Sell Order' menu to be put on the 'Galactic market'. When materials are purchased from the 'Galactic Market', they will become available in the 'Item Hangar' at the appropriate Starbase

Hangar

This is where the ships you are currently not using are kept

Repair Ship

After a Battle with Pirates, your ship will be damaged and when you have a Hyperdrive fitted, it *will* deteriorate with use, needing repair. A popup will tell you how much it will cost and the 'repair Ship' button will repair your ship
