Station Financial Manager MK 2
- Much like the Station Manager (SM) from X3R and X2, the SFM is capable of controlling and directing all your transporters. The main improvement over the SM, is the capability to use the jump drive. You can also individually configure each ship to not trade certain wares, or to have a custom distance
- Auto deposit and withdraw money for stations
- Station Manager like actions (buy and sells wares)
- Records financial data and generates reports
- Limited ship renaming ability
- Uses jump drives
- Automate Assist Features

And of course, Generally smart trade AI
- With the advent of the jump drive, there is nothing stopping you from trading from all corners of the Commonwealth (Or Empire if your LV)
- Your ships need a Jump Drive, and Navigational Command Software Mk I
- Your ship must have auto jump on
- If you've added a ship, and its name is still the default one (Your .....) then it renames it for you to "## SHIPTYPE STATION" eg 1 Mercury Miner Mysuperdoopermine'sname. Not the robust naming feature in the world.. nor the prettiest but hey, this is designed for making money, and plaques charge my the letter!
Cost: Commissions explained
I've set it such that you can't loose money at average levels.
- By transaction, I mean when money physically changed hands. So you don't get charged when dropping of goods at your home base. However, you WILL be charged if trading with other stations owned by you.
- Then the ship will continue, but keep taking money until its been paid in full, it will take funds off the home base, and from your main account.
How much do I get charged?
- First up, a quick definition. Premium: Below average price when buying OR above average when selling
0.5% Average Commission Charge
7.5% Premium Commission Charge
Out of the money commissions
- As said above, your charged a 0.5% / 7.5% commission on all transactions. So if you bought 100 Crystals (with average price 1684) at or above 1684 credits each. You will be charged 0.5% of 100*1684. i.e. 0.5%*1684=842
- Similarly, if selling 100 Crystals, at 1684 or below, you will be charged 0.5% * 100 * 1684 = 842
- If you bought 100 Crystals (with average price 1684) at 1600 credits each. You will be charged 1% of 100*1684 PLUS 7.5% of (1684 - 1600) * 100
0.5% * 100*1684 + 7.5% * 84 * 100 = 842 + 630 = 1472 - Similarly, if your selling 100 Crystals, at 1700, you will be charged 0.5% * 100 * 1684 PLUS 7.5% of 100 * (1700-1684)
0.5% * 100*1684 + 7.5% * 100 * 16 = 842 + 120 = 962
So at a minimum, the trader earns 0.5% of the average transaction, and for every 100 credits at premium level, they takes 7.5 of those, and gives you 92.5.
