Re: combat missions

Hi there,

Yeah ammo cost could be an issue early in the game, especially if you are on trial since you can't see the players' -cheaper- market selling orders.

One tip is to farm your race drone (NOT the generic one). They will drop bullets and race specific ammo. That way you make some money with the plasma and stockpile ammo.

See you on the field

Re: combat missions

I'm new here myself but I also get the impression that there isn't a strong industrial prescence here yet, so things can be a touch pricey as corps are apparently kitting themselves out as the priority (and fair enough) rather than filling the market.

Good excuse to explore the crafting system, might make some cash.

most production is done in private for corporations who don't need the market.  most of the independent indy people quit the game.  read the patch notes going back to live and you'll see why.

<GM Synapse> please don't abuse our fresh players before blowing them up. And for god sakes, don't do that after it!

Re: combat missions

Corporations provide for own members first. Surplus and unneeded gear goes onto the market. Have you ever heard of such a thing as excess of weapons and gear in combat zones?

Yes the market is baren. It’s there for you to colonize. There are countless people out there who need gear and cannot get it anywhere else than from the market.

Opportunity for you maybe?

<- Another independent producer.

I do what I can, but two factories can only do so much! There are certainly opportunities for new industrial players.

Re: combat missions

in the two days I've played, I've seen an uptick in market items. Not a big one, but it looks like it is going to grow quite a bit with the influx of new players. Ammo is def a hassle of sorts early, especially if you are on a trial. As I've moved into L1 missions though, definitely picking up enough ammo and bits to sell to not bleed too much money.
