How about we have the cost of things depend more on your faction towards them. Like having 2% off for every +100 faction standing?

do you mean for every 100 standing above zero or for every 100 standing above what is needed to be offerd the item in question?

The first one would be easier to implement, but may be more abusable.

Eithor way i like the idea

already there, in some factions (corvus fex.)

I added this at one point... and then all of a sudden, if you had good standing, you could buy items at a lower price than you could sell them at. So it was REAL easy to make a profit. :)

So... it's less significant of a bonus, but if you have a high faction standing, high trade experience, or a mentor medal, the price a station will give you for selling an item to them will be much closer to the price at which you can buy the item.

Doesn't the mentor medal only affect prices in your own nation? IIRC that's what the loading screen tip says...

yeah, I can't actually use my mentor medal, cuz Itan hates me :D

Waylon: then why don't we make purchase prices based on standing as well - i.e. stations where you have decent standing will pay better based on your standing. If I have great TPG but horrible Orion and I take goods from TPG to Orion, Orion should pay me less as I am less trusted.

Waylon how about you make the resell value lower than the purchase value in all circumstances. Kinda like once you drive the car off the lot it's "used". The resell value does NOT have to be incredibly lower than the bought price, but just at least 1 credit less than original purchase price. This way players couldn't get upset about losing lots of creds for rearranging their weaps and buying the wrong ones etc.
