Trading while hated near everywhere.

Apr 16, 2008 yodaofborg link
Prolly just cos its a hard coded mission thing, but it seems if you are hated in most places, you get offered the best ever trade missions! I'm hated pretty much everywhere at the moment, and like the Itani's offered me a mission from jallik to helios! This has to be a bug, cos like, then I noticed that in metana and eo they were asking me for stuff from verasi that I can get 2 worm holes away.

Errm, should I report this or abuse it, I ain't sure cos like, it will mean real easy standing fixing for pirates like me, but prolly nobody else.

Have you tried doing the mission? You shouldn't be able to dock to a station who's faction hate you. I mean if Itani hate you then you shouldn't be able to dock to an Itani station.

I guess he means that he can still dock at those stations, but normally they wouldn't offer him those missions.

From the itani space the longest missions usually only go till verasi those aren't worth all that much unless you take them in eo or deneb. A mission from jallik to helios would give 3 border crossing and 3 gray space bonuses .. that should be worth quite a lot.

I think I've seen the goods available closer than the mission wants thing too even without tanking anything.
IIRC some stations near the itani/serco border often wanted stuff that was availlable on the other side.

The missions are way more varied than they used to be though ..so I don't know if it's really that big of an issue.

Sorry, was a little drunk when posting the above, but yeah, spucks right. Usually the mission that I am speaking of wants cargo from Verasi. I can't dock at the statioon that sells it in Verasi, so the precure mission for some weird assed reason, asks me to get it from Helios, but I can buy the cargo much closer (Nyrius, Dau and Odia) meaning I'm getting a big big assed bonus, for very little work (my Itani standing litteraly flew up, by itself).

But yeah, just thought i'd mention it, its not like everyones going to become KOS with nearly everyone just to get good missions.

trade goods are not sold at just one station, they are sold in many many locations for most of the items. However there are some goods that only one station sells.

Since items are sold at multiple locations then you can buy the goods for the procurement trade missions from any of them you wish. If you do the retrieval missions then you have to goto station X to get the goods.
