How to store wares on my station?

Post by ApoxNM »

Hi guys,

I just build a station with a M container module, an administration center and a docking port. However, I seem not to be able to store anyithing in it.

I want to buy space weed and maja dust to store in my station and then have my traders sell it from there. What do I need to store spaceweed and majadust and spacefuel?
Since buying this stuff from SAC is risky I don't want my traders buying from the stations. I just want them to sell from my station while I haul the cargo myself.

Thanks!

I think I figured it out, they have to be docket. I can not order them to transfer cargo while they are in space.

Yup, only things that you cannot store is from your personal inventory

Have you tried cargo drones?

The station is still being build. Don't know if it has drones yet.

How would I prohibit AI traders from comming to my station (restrict trade with faction?), but have them take the wares I transfer and sell them, to the black markets?

Do I asign them to the station to trade and have restrict trade faction on?

What's the best way of achieving this?

Large ships have cargo drones so they can load/unload cargo from stations that don't have a cap ship dock.

Pretty sure it still needs to have a pier to transfer things: the drones go in via ports on the pier.

You can restrict all trade of any particular item to other factions as you want. However if you want to sell your stuff to particular bases you have to assign trade orders manually to your traders.

So I can not restrict wares and have my traders sell to black markets only?
