Trade Outpost is a planetary Point of Interest.

Summary[ | ]

The Trading Posts or Trade Outpost are a type of planetary Point of Interest. Similar to space stations, trading posts feature a Galactic Trade Terminal and seven Landing Pads where starships can land. In the main section, the player can find 3-6 NPCs of that system's dominant faction, and, in rare occasions, a Traveller.

Cargo Drops can be found near the landing pads and in the lower sections of the Trading Post.

Locating[ | ]

Trading posts can be found by:

Trade routes[ | ]

Following Trade routes or starships in space or in a planet's atmosphere can lead the player to a trading post.

Prices and tradeables[ | ]

Prices and tradeables at trading posts can differ from the system's space station. Trading posts seem to offer far fewer resources (Ex: Ferrite Dust) than Space stations, but more rare items for a cheaper price.

Missions[ | ]

Delivery missions will ask the player to deliver a certain resource or tradeable to a trading post in that system. Once there, the player has to enter the post's Galactic Trade Terminal in order to complete the mission.

Another mission that includes a trip to a trade outpost is the high-rank variant of the Find Missing Person.

Additional Information[ | ]

  • In Pirate-Controlled Star systems, all trading posts on planets will be called a Black Market Terminal when viewed through the Analysis Visor.

Release history[ | ]
