Second on that. I'm a total noob with this game and some kind of guide/examples would be very helpful.

Thanks.

A little guide:

1. Fly around station exterior to reveal a docking port.
2. Left-click on the port's icon on your HUD.
3. Left-click on the on the HUD's main monitor.
4. Marvel at the pop-up window of dreamy goodness.
5. Start a conversation with an appropriate NPC*.
6. "Choose the fairly obvious convo option".
7. Pay the fee and "profit".

* I don't have a definitive list but it's the sort that would offer you trade updates as a small talk reward. So basically, most trader NPCs (e.g. Junk Dealer or Black Market dude) plus a couple of others (Architect?).

@Sparky

Thank you. I did that. Now I have an eye near the station's name. Good. But what next... I mean how exactly this mod working? Where/how I can see the results of this just hired for 80000 credits agent? Is this somewhere in trade menu (SHIFT+T) or he/she will contact me about an available offer(s) or should I contact him/her or... well I can't figure this out.

Thanks.

What happens now is that your trade window (shift+t) will be instantly updated for any prices changed or orders added/finished for any station with the eye icon. As you build up your contacts you can eventually cover every friendly station.

Ahh! I actually was thinking about that, but wasn't sure!
Thanks for a lesson!

You could also just hit enter/3/3/4/4/1/5/1 provided that's the only station in the zone that you need. Way faster

Hahaha, oh wow... hahaha!

Just went to check what crew I had on-board after using Taf! to hire someone... The newly-hired dude docked and entered the ship via the toilet while I was looking around!

Well placed Sir, well played.

Love the mod. It helps with just being able to send my ships back to get more supples without having to fly there first to see the dock locations.

Small request..... (I tried modding this mod to make it work no luck)

Can you add a version with discounts and commissions? I see in cat.8 (2.0 files) player_commission and player_discount

I tried adding following code to taf.xml just after the line of add_trade_subscription

Code: Select all


		<add_player_commission object="event.object.container" name="Tech Enticement" commission="50%" />
		<add_player_discount object="event.object.container" name="Insider Benefactor" discount="50%" />

[/code]

My OCD means that I HAVE to have a Trade Agent on any and all stations I might use in the future - this will keep me sane when I restart! Will have to wait til I'm done Beta testing before trying though, unfortunately.

Excellent work!

Thanks for this nice mod! Saved me a lot of time and annoyance.

Personally I found the charge of 80k credits too much though. I have modded it to 10k (which may be a bit too cheap). If you consider the amount of stations in the game, 80k will easily add up to a huge pile of money.

(Money that I actually find hard to make with trades. The margins seem to be ruined by NPCs all the time. But maybe that's just me being stupid.)

Congrats on the mod, just a small suggestion:

Agent cost could depend on Faction Reputation.

Hardcard · Post by **Hardcard** » Sat, 7. Jun 14, 23:54

This mod is far from crappy (as you said in the description).
Huge time saver, something like this should've been implemented in vanilla, imho.

The only downside is the agent cost, 80.000Cr is a little steep!
The rest is just awesome, the player no longer needs to endlessly wander the sectors just to get the right offers. Once you've hired all the desired agents, you just need to press "T" and the entire market is revealed.
