Astro Galaxy - a realistic space exploration game

Jupiter station is now buying food.

Do you accept twinkies? lol

What's the shelf life of a 'twinkie'?   :21:

Dude twinkies never go bad lol.  How about some special brownies instead?

How 'special'?  Mine are running 15 to 20 %.

The EoS will buy your 'twinkies' at the rate of 1 solari per every 1000 m³...

Is food even useful or lootable? Why would I buy food supplies from Sol just to sell to you and lose money?

well raid your kitchen and sell to sargas for a profit :harhar:.

not yet sure why food and electronics was put into the game at the start. Probably something Sir Emi was working on with regards to economics before he got all caught up building a galaxy from scratch lol
It would be good to see something like a need for electronics, or food in the following manners:
For every marine, every week, you need to feed them 1 m3 of food (or maybye every 10 marines...factors to be thought up for realism) or they start dying/defecting
For damaged modules (if it ever gets implemented in combat) or maybe for building modules, then you would also need to include an electronics part as part of the requirement

Just a few ideas to make these products useful

When I first started the game, I did find an SOS that was requesting electronics. I didn't have any on me at the time.  Since then I haven't seen an SOS requiring it. I only barely remember it. lol

Thank you Rostin.  I was wondering who would discover that little fact.  :19:

Hey they may be useless but at least when the sun goes nova and the solar economy collapses we can buy/sell stuff with twinkies.

well yes, but only to cockroaches...

well, it happened.  Someone bought food at for 29,000 and then sold it to me for 24,000.

Jupiter Station is now selling food... :P

Nice con. Can you work  with fuels too. :))  I may set one in uranus. :wow: the food will not work for me. I will eat all the merchandise and profit.

EoS Trading Post 1 has lost it's lease at Jupiter and will be relocating.  I will let y'all know where I set up my tents... :12:

What happened to it's lease?

Sounds like supply and demand dried up perhaps. Probably moving out to rosies cantina

or Hernando's Hideaway...

Set it up in...Dimension X!

At least when SirEmi introduces black holes maybe you can do that lol.

Jupiter Station is closed.

Joe's Bar and Grill will open shortly.

Found it, loved it, will bring my friends and claim a booth in the back as "our spot"

thank you, my first customer...

I noticed that the commodity exchange stations in other systems usually buy food and electronics. Does anyone know if you can sell to those stations and make a profit off of otherwise useless products?

Not enough of one to really make a lot of money.

Joe's Bar & Grill is now open in lunar orbit...

There was a change in property ownership, and the new owner asked me (nicely, I might add) to relocate.

I wasn't exactly asked nice and had one of his people pointing weapons at my station after Raph asked.  His guy got jumped as a result.  I have relocated my recruiting station though. lol

Well I didn't spent even a single QP to speed up the timer, isn't that nice ?

I know. lol. I didn't mind doing it.

I would recommend it for new captains as a supplement to offset fuel costs when transporting interstellar passengers picked up from the bulletin board.  And as soon as that endeavor (taxi service) stops being profitable, so does the minor profit for reselling crap.  I have been stockpiling food and electronics for the time they will be useful.
