Confused about transporting people, please help me

Post by snozdog »

i dont understand at all how u make money by transporting people, like a taxi service as such. i dont even know how to pick them up.

iv been into the stations, well 4 or 5 and who ever i talk to doesn't give me an option to transport.

i also cant find how u sell things for money in trading. i buy something and no one will buy it.

Please help because im addicted to this amazing game but cant get its full potential.

Thanks Ash =]

check the BBS, when people want transportation they'll post an advert there.

For trading you need to look at what a station NEEDs.
At the begining its your best bet to BUY Energy sells from a solar poewer plant. If you fly East thru the gate theres 2 solar power Plants. Keep in mind that prices change all the time - try to buy them at a cheap price, 12 - 15 is ok i guess. Once you buy them look for stations that need energy cells for 18 credits or more each to make a nice profit. Youll have to land in each station to see what price they want it for until you buy a trading system extension ( lets you see factory prices without docking).

That will get you started.
