Within each inner system is a Space Station(SS). These stations are a hub for trade in the local area, consisting of a Galactic Market, Local Market, Contract Board, and a Shipyard. Each SS sells the resource that system produces and buys the resources produced in other systems.


Station Name - System - Sells:
SS Andromeda - Ceres - Grain
SS Archimedes - Vulcan - Iron
SS Plato - Apollo - Meat
SS Elysium - Veritas - Titanium
SS Orion - Ubertas - Vegetables
SS Archon - Pomona - Fruit
SS Mica - Vestra - Aluminium
SS Solaris - Sol Invictus - Carbon
Cabal Trade Station - Janus A


Once you dock, you will see the Space Station interface appear.

It will first ask you if you want to pay to repair any damage your ship may have sustained. This can be from combat, or hyperdrive wear.
Auto Repair can be turned on in Options at any time.

After any repair is addressed, you will see the SS interface. Ssinterface.png

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

Item Category

Material - Select goods you have in Storage to place onto the Galactic Market(GM) stating amount and price per item. Ship modules - Sell those modules you have built in your Star Base or removed from ships that have been upgraded. Ship - Sell your unused space craft or space craft built at you shipyard. they will need to be in your 'Hangar'.

Item To Sell

Once Item Category is selected, you can select the specific item you are wanting to sell.

Items to be listed have to be in the current SS Storage, Hanger, or Refit list. You can not list items in other SS.

Quantity

This can be increased to the amount of materials you want to list from your SS Storage.

This must be left as 1 for Ship modules or Ships being listed.
Set Max Button will list the all of the Item To Sell that has been selected that is currently in your SS Storage.

Price Per Unit

Enter the amount you want to list each unit.

Specify Buyer

If you want to sell to a specific player, enter their full playername here. Capitalization is optional.

Once specified and listed, only you and the specified buyer can see the listing.

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 'Storage.'
  • 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 your '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.

Storage

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

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.

Shipyard

Nothing beats 'New Space Craft Smell': you can purchase new Space Ships at the all SS Shipyards.

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.
Ships available change at 0, 15 and 45 minutes of every hour. The listed ships are randomly selected and pricing is random within a set range for each type.
If you select and purchase a new ship, it will be placed immediately in the Hanger of the station you are currently located.

Disembark

This allows the player to disembark the ship and walk around the station.

The first time you disembark you will be asked to select one of 4 available avatars.
Disembark at the SS has no destination at present. This will be for future content.

Exit Station

Clicking this will exit the SS in the current ship selected.
