Understanding Prices
Speaking of supply and demand, you can get an inkling of what is most demanded in an area based on its pricing, or rather the number above the price. Each thing in the market has a percentage detailing the current price’s deviation from the Galactic Average. That means you can tell if you’re making a great profit, breaking even, or selling cheap.
Green when selling means demand is high and you’re able to sell for more money. These are the resources you always want to sell. Gold Stars denote items in extremely high demand where you can get double or even more of the resources standard value.
What you really want to pay attention to is the menu where you purchase things from. Green here means that those items are in low demand so they’re just trying to offload stock. You can get some pretty good resources at a steal this way and the haul them over to a stay system you know will appreciate them.
