Pirate Market

you can rapidly print off hyposprays

still big no on security gear

Rapidly printing them is the point. You get 5 hyposprays for 1 bar of glass, 1 bar of steel and 1 bar of copper. Rewards mining for getting mauxite, pharosium and molitz instead of ignoring them. They should be balanced in relation to the loop of buying food from the market and selling them to random traders, which nets you around 8,000 credits for a 1,500 credit crate.

Is that a no to buying or selling security gear? When I finish the telesci/salvage merchant I'll start reviewing monty, and I'll be very careful about people buying powerful gear. How would people feel about limited (like 3 every hour) batons avaliable without power cells? How widely avaliable are small power cells anyway, outside of security and matsci?

Way way too much cash for selling things to them, and anything above 3 TC will be a hard (at VERY MINIMUM) sell to get in game. Cash isn't hard to get in the slightest.

I don't get what you're saying. Too much cash or it's too easy to get?

I've specifically picked out a whitelist of items that have a low round impact, ones that have functional equivalents elsewhere, and ones that are underused. I also bumped them up a few telecrystals in value in most cases, and almost all of them are below 3 crystals in value to begin with.

Random traders buy the HoS hat for __10,000__, which is a bit low yes, but is much much more reasonable than 2 mil

I dunno, I was looking at what Vuldark was offering for the viking armor I think we need more rewards for selling stuff like this. He offers 90k for that and the effort's around the same, so the rules about what should be worth what are a little inconsistant. Regardless, I think a high stakes once-a-round heist for the HoS's hat, possibly involving the clown tricking him into wearing an ass, should be rewarded with great riches and you should have a chance to beat out the CE for richest escapee for pulling it off.

When people mention how money is so easy to get, they're rarely talking about people grabbing space loot and pawning it off to a merchant, anyway. They're talking about hellburns, quantum telescope fishing or stealing it from the station funds. The first two are fine but kinda unrewarding since you need to scour the debris field to actually buy cool stuff with your wads of cash (and the stuff you can buy is usually less interesting than the stuff around them), and the station funds computer could do with a rework from the ground up imo. I want the market to actually be viable for making cash, encourage people to hang around the stock exchange a little.
