The market (Gaming)

I still don't completely get it, either. I've made good money from famines at different stations. It seems like the relief vessels they send out in response to famines are super, super slow.

You can also destroy treaty ships, relief ships and convoy ships to extend the period of war, famine or whatever. I havent, because I'm a good boy. But it's an option.

Is there an easy way to see what you paid for a commodity? I always forget what I paid when I'm off-loading stuff. The menu doesn't make it very clear, or maybe I'm just dumb.

Not that I can tell, though you can check the price of the product at the place you purchased it by waiting (several years) for the ticker to scroll to it, or backing out to your map and hovering over the station. Not super convenient but functional.

Alternatively - only buy when it's red, only sell when it's green. That way you know you're making a profit, even if you dont know how much.
