Trade?
-
Just discovered this game and I love playing it, but why whenever someone tells me that I should buy I.E. Boron on Newark Station and sell it on Manhattan planet and it will give me a lots of profit, I’ve got at commodity trader on this station only Consumer goods and Food rations. Am I doing something wrong?
-
I used to buy boron at Pittsburg (cheapest) then take it to Leeds. Might not want to do that in a Starflier though

Hi Binks, welcome to The Starport.
In Vanilla (unmodified) Freelancer there is Boron for sale at Newark.
If you are playing a Modded (modified) Freelancer then it depends on which mod you are playing, many have changed where goods are sold.
-
If you want to do a lot of trading I’d suggest FL Companion (especially on modded FL)

Although it’s really a tool for setting up and balancing trade routes it’s really handy if you want to get rich fast

Thanks for that. I’m using Crossfire mod. It is very hard for me to find some list of commodities I can trade:( Can you recommend something like that or do I just have to fly to every base and find out for myself?

Crossfire mod use dynamic economy - trading routes for normal commodities changes daily at server restart. If you do not like ask other players (this actually is very good idea … ask), then the best what you can do is use one your character for exploration (at least Sirius space) and have on this character purchased most lucrative commodities. With this you will see that trading in Crossfire space have some order which is unnoticeable on first look. (could be good idea check CF wiki on swat-portal for commodities which need only 1/2 and 1 cargo space)
