Al Gebbar and the missing comm relay
« on: January 05, 2025, 09:03:20 AM »

I just realized, since Al Gebbar (ie Epiphany) doesn't have a comm relay you obviously can't check market prices while inside or close to the system. But how then can you see the Epiphany prices when inside another systems comm range? ???

Guess someone has to get from time to time into hyperspace and send info from the closest relay? Sounds tedious as hell.

i think its lore friendly that the space terrorists dont want to communicate with others

Tried it. They just rebuild whatever you had replaced before rahter quickly, so the comms doesn't last.

Strange. I usually build a comm relay there early on and the Luddies just capture it and leave it as is.
