Hello i had this game for several years and lately decided to try it out.
A friend of mine saw it and decided to give it a go and this is what he found:
1. You dock onto a station with a market that has lets say 6-9 stability and thousands of items both on black market and open market.
2. You use lets say 3 agents, even if 2 of them succeed you can double your bank.
3. Buy the goods that had their price dropped, exit the market and dock back in the price rises back up a notch and you sell.
He turned his 130k into 270k in a couple of minutes..
The issues seems to be:
1. Instant stability and price change on the market - It drops - you buy - you exit the market and dock again - it instantly raises up with the stability being at its lowest after the agents actions or it raises back up by 1 point but the price is also raised and gives you unparalleled profit.
2. Cargo capacity is unlimited, it only hurts you if you need to travel which in this case you don't need to even move.
I can link a short video where he does it on stream, it's in Russian.
It seems to powerful to me with no efforts needed to go insanely rich.
Is this intended?
If i may also share a suggestion:
1. Make the stability loss take effect over time, force the player focus on other things meanwhile and travel.
2. If the player camps the market, send in patrols due to the suspicious market destabilization.
Mods that are being used during this and might be the cause are:
1. Nexerelin
2. DynaSector
3. Starsector+
And other faction mods..
We will try to test it in vanilla as well...
Thank you for your time.
