^ Its 3 degrees of demand/supply for each good. Price varies from station to station. Fill up a station with good so they run out of demand, prices drop. Bunch of players on the same trade route ruined the profit margins in earlier betas. There's no scraper for beta3, so we don't see it to the same extent.

Hope they fix that in the direction of a more complete economic model.
One of the things I always disliked about the old Elites was that it was so easy to make money via trading.
And by that I dont mean that they should reduce the general profitability of trading. But they should make it less dependent on the amount of time you spend on hauling and more on your creativity in constantly finding new trade routes, on your ability to exploit dynamic economic connections and on your willigness to constantly venture into more dangerous but also more profitable areas of space.

I don't know what this is, but i want it.
Woah I now have a reason to play. Time to grief some fuckers!!! Aside from the meta gaming (all hail Pandemic Legion) receiving hate mail in Eve was one of the highlights of the game. Hopefully they let people send you messages lol

I'd rather see them use release revenues on further polishing the game. Making more missions, ships, improving AI behaviour and bulletin/news system. FPS and planet landing can wait

Of couse they will do that, this was a PR video to let know players, that many interesting features are coming the future, also to troll Space Ships Online with Chris.
So it's releasing 16th of Dec, but it's not necessarily content complete? (judging by the video)
Fucking hell, this is just annoying - charging extra for paint? https://store.zaonce.net/game-extras.html?p=3
What is the problem? This is mictrotransaction done right. The game doesn't have a subscription fee, how do you think they can get some money for the server upkeep?
The video is about their future plans, which could take a long time to implement. They never said that these features will be in the game at launch.
Since I never saw you in this thread, did you come here just to fake some rage?
It is not. So...? The game has a huge MMO world, and I only have to buy the game once. I couldn't care less if they want to sell cosmetic stuff to get additional money.
I don't know. Ulminati ?
Anyway, they are fucking paintjobs, who cares if they want to get some money with it. After seeing what this game offers, this I can live together with.

How can you get those national flag paint jobs anyway? Or maybe you cant? I don't see them in a shop.
+ as long as they'll have to offer something for every ship and you would be able to unlock some paint jobs without using real money, I'm cool with that.

You didn't know that? Planetary landings, boarding etc. will come in paid expansions. That's why i bought a lifetime expansion pass for extra 40 oyro.
I think someone's missing the point here though. This is a (partially) crowdfunded game. They don't have a publisher who shits out money for their projects. They are not going to kickstart every expansion now, but they need a steady revenue. That's fucking obvious to everyone with a funcional brain. They need money to make expansions and they need money to cover server costs. This is a game with optional single player, not the other way around. If you thought otherwise, you thought wrong.
They were a limited offer. Though, unlike some other, more expensive paint jobs (Wirefeframe Cobra, Chrome Viper) i expect them to reappear at some point again.
This game better work in "single-player" when their servers are down.
Can you still buy the expansion pass?

You wll never grief anyone in this game, if you want to carebear, you can just play the solo version of the game wich is the same thing with udated prices according the live servers. The only pvp you will see is likely consensual dogfighting in some systems, eventually maybe some factional warfare. I dont see any reason to go to the multiplayer server if you want to trade or do pve .
