Trading bay

A trading bay is a piece of base gear that lets players buy and sell items from a base. When viewing a base as a visitor the trading bay provides a number (?) of tabs listing the buying and selling price for the station.

Colonies

Colonies use the commodities tab of the trading bay to decide how many commodities to buy and sell with the base. If the colony has a ruin, a player can place the item on the appropriate tab. If the base's buy price is above the colony's ruin price, the base has the funds, and the colony hasn’t reached the extraction limit for that item, the base will (eventually) buy one of those items.

Trading bay prices

There are two ways to change the prices of items listed in the trading bay. The first is to re-add it with the “Add item to trade” button from the control tab on the base. The second is to right-click the price in the trading bay tab and modify the price directly.

• NOTE: This second method works even when your character is experiencing the dreaded "Out of Memory" bug triggered by the "Add item to trade" button.

Add Items list

The “add item to trading bay” button brings up a list of items that are available to be added to the base. There is a default list of standard items identical for every player. Additionally, any item present on the base when you dock is also added to the list. The list is then saved on your character and is available for any other base you dock at.
