Black Market suspicion levels climb much faster now.
« on: May 06, 2023, 12:17:36 AM »
Hey,

Just noticed that simply buying like 4-5 weapons already sets the suspicion level to medium.

Previously I could get away with buying 1-2 hullmods, some weapons, supplies and fuel and it would still be minimal.

I know buying at the normal market reduces the level but you need to buy a LOT of stuff for it to go down now.

Anybody noticed the same thing? Vanilla.

I just bought 2 small missiles from the black market and the suspicion level stayed at "none". So I guess it's not that extreme.  It could be worth testing out different amounts of goods, who know maybe there's a bug somewhere.

I believe everything under 10k credits didn't cause any suspicion in .95, it was never about the volume.

Ah ok, that could explain it!

And buying stuff while transponder is off still leaves suspicion alone.

Can verify, suspicion climbs much faster now. This is probably a bug.

Just purchased one modspec (front shield conversion) for ~8000 credits, and my suspicion instantly jumps to 'medium' for something that should, on its own, have generated no suspicion at all.

Edit: Another transaction; purchased one modspec for 12,000 credits, again, instantly medium suspicion. I then purchase 100,000 credits of supplies on the main market, and sell another 10,000 credits of metal, and buy a 60,000 credit Colossus... suspicion is now 'minimal' when it really should be 'none' given the relative volume of legitimate trade.

Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.

Ah so I'm not crazy!
I noticed the levels climbed much faster but had no idea why.
