Another NMS thing: Seems that in a space station you can visit incoming ships, buy stuff from them and then sell it right to the station for profit

each station apparently has "gold star" items that it buys at a very high price. Incoming ships will sell you the same stuff cheap. You can basically make a ton of cash just sitting there moving stuff between ships and the station

Responses:

this is correct. Those traders are also where you can get new ships. They all will sell theirs -- nm - decline Aug 10, 10:25 9
- I may be too "EVE" in my thinking but stuff like that (buying from ships/selling to station) with zero effort seems broken -- nm - oblique Aug 10, 10:29 8
  - EVE needs to have a proper economy though. NMS does not. -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 10:33 1
    - It's just my own desires for the "integrity" of the game. I don't really want to have the option to just rake in cash by "exploiting" some loophole - oblique Aug 10, 10:34
  - I wonder how often the goods overlap though. Not everything is available from each trader/station -- nm - decline Aug 10, 10:32 5
    - and I bet the devs are watching all this cross talk too -- nm - decline Aug 10, 10:32 4
      - Sure. It may not be common. The guy that posted on reddit said he made about 2M in 30 minutes doing it - oblique Aug 10, 10:33 3
        
        which just ruins the game for him. -- nm - decline Aug 10, 10:35 2
        
        and that 2M really doesn't do anything for him. He can't buy ship/exosuit/tool upgrades with it, nor can he horde lots of supplies. - decline Aug 10, 10:37 1
        
        Yeah, like I said, it's just one of those things that would be so easy to not be a part of the game - oblique Aug 10, 10:40
I knew you could barter with the captains, didn't know what the gold star meant. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 10:20 1
