New Commodities I can offer

[Adam_Spire]

I'€™ve been making new commodities that can be added to various houses to be transported to perspective planets but I wonder if I should even bother trying?

I have most of the graphic icons and images as well as cargo profiles but I'€™d like to know if this is even something I can contribute to the game or just punch up clear?

I can post them here later today if its something that could be done and is possible to do.

Defective commodities
Lowest Selling Price: 390
Cargo Space Needed: 1
One of the oldest tricks in the business book is to flood a market with products that sell like the real thing but only perform or function to a very limited degree, then fail at the worst times. Resulting in lawsuits, wasted time and money, injuries, and sometimes death, low end corporations use this to make a quick credit at the expense of quality and reliability. Some larger companies may employ a method to introduce an inferior product that their competitor sells to both bog their rivals in fines and legalities while making a small profit on the side.

Nice. I think we all should offer something. We really need something new in the game to transport. Add more outlawed goods, perhaps?

C'mon everyone, put your offers for commodities here too.

I like it. But that's the easy part. The hard part is all the pricing.
Here's the tutorial, maybe you have seen it...

Let's all just be friends and have a good time.

[Adam_Spire]

Thank you everyone, I'll expand the list up top furter in the day.

Remember not to get too crazy with ideas. I have more ideas myself but I need to make sure i'm not going too far or being redundant like Jump Engines are pretty much the same thing as Engine components and so on.

Thank you for that credit tutorial. It will take some figuring out, but I'€™m hoping to make the runs somewhere in the 7-3 mil range one direction and allow purchasing and selling in more remote locations, but nothing too crazy.
