Black marketeer...

Post by Invasion »

In the current live and beta versions of the game, has anyone yet managed to get a black marketeer assigned to a player owned station?
Just go straight to the point please. If yes, please direct me to said player. Not interested in any "you can try this but have not tried myself" answers. Thanks! :)

I don't think it's possible. There was bug giving you that option but it was patched out.

I see. But why is Black marketeer an option in the station job drop down menu in the first place? Is it something meant to be implemented later?
It does not make sense for the option to exist if it is never meant to be used.

At this poitn it's all speculation. Have read posts about it, but since we have no official info from egosoft, nobody really knows I guess.

Its really irritating that Egosoft is all hush about the full scope of the game. They don't say what is meant to be possible and how certain things work. This is leaving players with no idea if an issue they encounter is due to an incorrect approach, a bug, or simply not doable. I have played quite a lot and now trying to delve into advanced commands for automation.

I want to set up traders to automatically transfer wares from one of my production stations, to another that needs those wares for further processing. I have been asking on the Steam forums and have got nothing but "try this, but I have not tried it myself" responses that do not work. And as far as I can tell, it is impossible to set up. Thing is what I am trying to do is going to be a necessity if players want to achieve their dream of fully owned ship production once we can build our own wharfs and shipyards.

Why is Egosoft leaving us in the dark and not offering any concrete info of how things are supposed to work? I am completely baffled :cry:

I think "distribute wares" should do that. But I have not tried it myself. XD

It does not work...

I've tried literally all the "try this but I've not tried myself" replies

This is the ~20th time I'm getting such a reply...

Put me on suicide watch
