Hello,
I seem to be unable to find something about these things:
When EMP bombing a station module (to get its blueprint), I also receive certain 'benefits', but many of them are completely unclear, what they mean, and I cannot find a list of these things.
I know, that receiving a 'Permanent Trade Subscription' obviously means the same thing which you can buy with rank 20+ for the entire faction, but in this case only for this station. Short term discounts are also sometimes received, they are self explaining, despite the fact, that 'short term' is never explained, also the amount of the discount. But at least it seems pretty clear. But the rest?
What are all the other things? I cannot even remember them, there are resource drains and similar things. Really a lot of completely unclear things.
Is there a description/documentation what effects these things have?
Thanks.

I think discounts and commissions are entered into the player logbook.

You can try referring to the ever popular X4 FAQ by Kitten Mittens. (It's worth bookmarking for other game mechanic questions.) Specifically, look under the headings:Good Wizard wrote: ↑Sun, 12. Oct 25, 14:10 Is there a description/documentation what effects these things have?

Yes - this is what I was looking for!stooper88 wrote: ↑Sun, 12. Oct 25, 18:41You can try referring to the ever popular X4 FAQ by Kitten Mittens.

As such, discounts which should provide a decreased price only when the player BUYS from a station also impose decreased prices when SELLING to a station. Similarly, commissions which should raise prices only when a player SELLS to a station also raise prices when a player BUYS from a station. Having both types of bonuses can also cancel each other out causing the player to receive no benefits rather than cumulative benefits. More details are available in the aforementioned FAQ.

Thank you.
The problem with these is, that they are not explained well, and only present in the Log. So you have to go through the Log to find the station again.
But it just irked me not knowing what they are. I do not trade a lot, especially not on remote stations where I steal module blueprints
Thanks again.
