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:
- Using the starship's Economy Scanner
- Asking an alien NPC for directions
- Using a Planetary Chart (inhabited outpost) for finding inhabited outposts (may reveal any type of structure, not just a trading post)
- Using a Signal Booster to locate nearby structures. (may reveal any type of structure, not just a trading post)
- By pure exploration
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.
