Pirate Market

You should note that food selling hds been nerfed, wishmakers are super rare, alongside hellburns, and station funds are rarely worth millions. One of the core things about game design is players will make the game unfun for themselves, if one of these traders comes into play, theyd be a better money maker then basically any other trader, thus only these traders and these ways of making money will get used, because its by far the best way. In current balance having items worth one or two millions alone is questionable, let alone ones that you can get with ease in under five minutes.

Think you're underestimating how strong food merchants and debris field merchants already are, and how much effort it takes to get some of the items on my list. Getting a bunch of specific trinkets with a strict time pressure is much more difficult than just selling crates you can get in QM, the prices I'm putting on one trinket is worth about 10 food crates ordered and sold to Zesty Trombone. I'm also being very careful to keep the big payouts for items that there's only one of per round, and take some time or risk to get. The yoyo for example takes two players working together to get it to the diner, and it takes about 30 minutes. Biodome knife takes about 20 without needing a second player. Both involve dealing with puzzles and mobs.

For reference of how silly the merchant economy currently is, you can buy steel sheets for 1 credit each from them and instantly sell them back for around 8 credits. A markup of 8 times for almost no effort. Mass-order them, mass-sell them, and you're rolling in cash. You can get even more if steel or sheets are hot items on the market. Repeat until you're the richest man in space. The goon economy has never been based on common sense, it's based on rewarding players for spending time interacting with it.
