Hello all. I just started playing this morning and I'm already addicted. I know I'm already over halfway through my trial period and I'm sure I'll be subscribing. I like that I can play on both my Android tablet and on my netbook.
I played Eve before and while it was good in its own way, I was turned off by the steep learning curve and the monthly price. I also like that you're actually "in" your ship in VO as opposed to the 3rd person view of Eve.
I do have a few questions.
First, do the "high demand" items on the station welcome screens change?
Second, I noticed in the "news" there's a feed showing the top trades. Are these trades that have happened or are they trades that are still possible?
Third, do places ever sell out of an item?
Also, I wasn't sure where to mention this because it deals with both the Android and PC, but I did have an issue where I switched to PC in middle of a mission and the mission log was blank. This was easily fixed by going back to the tablet and finishing the mission there before returning to my netbook. For the moment, I'll just be sure not to have a running mission when I switch devices.
Btw, my character's name is Leonardo Myst and I'm currently 0/0/0/1/1 and Basic Trader II.

Mission Logs are stored client-side. This isn't usually an issue, since most missions abort if you logoff.
Currently, stations don't sell out of an item. We've been nagging the devs to change that. Hopefully it will happen eventually.
As for the trade related questions, I can't really answer as I don't trade.

Normally, I'd say avoid TGFT's propaganda, but they do have this trading thing figured out pretty well.
Thanks for the help. I'll check out both sites more thoroughly when I get home.
Btw, nice name serenitys_pilot.

The edit button is in the upper right of your post, in between the "link" and "delete" buttons. Well, technically they're links, not buttons, but yeah.
I can answer the first two questions: yes, the in high demand items do change, and yes, the news report trades are still possible although the information contained within might be up to 24 hrs old.
