Hi guys!
I playing Xgames only 20 years, so I'm still noob)

Have complex in Megnir - keris drones and Terran missiles. Trade permissions OK, friend/foe settings OK, max reputation, min prices. And no buyers. Is this normal, just wrong choice?

If I buy a ship with 50% hull, repair it to 100% and then recycle in HQ - it gives more resourses, then resycling at 50% hull?

Both drones and missiles are "tier 3" products that are consumed only by Docks. Only a subset of NPC Free Traders haul to Docks.

Trade Docks take drones and ED's missiles in Commonwealth. I haven't even paid attention to Terrans.
With ED's you can deliver endlessly, if you choose ED that does not store your product. TD's don't, so drone market is limited for a player.

Overall, relying on NPC Trader's is futile. Even if they come, your profits could not be less. If you wan't your products sold, then set ships to sell.

says that recycling returns 80% of what it takes to build one, but you need only 50% to repair. Looks good so far?

However, note that repairing consumes credits and time too. You will pay dearly for those extra resources that you gain with your repair+recycle routine.

Yes, recycling will give more resources if the ship is at full health. Buying busted ships for cheap and then using your repair laser to fix them up and recycle might be a viable tactic for you.

Limited market.

Supposedly you could fill a ship with drones and then sell that ship. That is what those Nividium miners always ramble about. Too much work, IMO.

Perhaps drones could be converted into credits the same way missiles can?
I've been told that I will get a reward in credits if some harm comes to a person/convoy/fleet.
Others say that firing of missiles is sheer waste of credits. Go figure.

No no no
You sell at shipyard for minimum price any goods that in ship
Better to sell nividium for avg-1 at Hub or HQ, and in HQ it works much better.

Well, if options are:

Complex offers drones at minimum price but no buyers arrive
Shipyard pays the minimum for the drones
Sit on (very large and growing) pile of Keris

My comment was about nividium.
For drones - yes, looks like only on shipyard with ship

You can't sell more than 30 or so Nividium anywhere in the universe. And then the buyer's storage is full and you have to wait for hours. You can sell at the hub, but this is not much faster. No chance to sell 2000 Niv anywhere apart from selling it with a ship.

Btw Hub can store 38 nividium at once, not 30. And if you dock a ship with niv., make the Hub it homebase and give order "buy at best price: niv." your ship will unload niv. immediatly after someone empties the warehouse. So NPC trader who came with order, say 345 niv., will sit on Hub until he buy required amount.

Which mods do you have installed? I never saw that many ships wanting to buy Nividium at the same time.

Vanilla. Only custom soundtrack for Heretics End
and ej.findwares at start of the game to reveal hidden tuning crates, with reloading to avoid "modified" tag
