Talk:Resource Market

which merchant to call?

 * It should be noted that there are 3 different kinds of merchants. the one you need to call is the resource that you now possess, and want to trade. Some people have found this information only after calling the metal vendor because they needed metal.


 * How long does a merchant last? Once you get it, does he stick with you forever - or does he go away after one month or something, like the officers do? Bontchev 13:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Dido. "How long does a merchant last?" ~cyalknight
 * I got two merchants right after the other through expeditions. One it said, "A mega cargo vessel was caught by a powerful gravitational field generated by a planetoid," the other said, "Your expedition fleet made contact with a friendly alien race." I didn't use the first one. And when I got the second merchant, and after I used the second merchant, the first merchant was not available. The merchants last until you trade with them. I was able to only make one trade. So I decided to save up lots of resources before I used it. 1 merchant = 1 trade.


 * Can you have more than one merchant simultaneously? Bontchev 13:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Storage size
Let me guess 66.45.158.247 you play in the beta uni 42? The storage there has been modified, None of the beta changes are correctly reflected in the wiki. If/When the changes are implemented into the non-beta uni's there will be a lot of changes required. At this time thou, beta specific changes should not be put in the main line pages. Some of the Astrophysics changes have been documented. Br4indead 05:49, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

a message said ..."your fleet found an alien on a shelf in your ship. he gave you a case of dark matter for a simple mathmatical equation" i got a few hundred dark matter and will that give me a merchant?

Expedition merchants

 * I do a lot of expeditions. Every single time I've gotten a merchant it's a crystal merchant which is useless to me since that's what I'm always lacking.  Is this just bad luck?  Is there a way to influence the expedition merchant's selection?  Or am I stuck with crystal merchants? 206.169.253.47 13:10, December 8, 2010 (UTC)
