- Supply and demand (modifies price by how much a station has/needs relative to storage capacity).
- Faction discounts (the more a faction likes you, the less their wares cost to buy).
- Discounts gained from NPC on a station (rewarded by successful smalltalk; stackable across multiple NPCs).
- Discounts occasionally gained while flying around stations, viewing iPoints, docks etc*
*if If you've 'scanned' an NPC station to 100%, random discounts/commissions will become available again if you rescan after leaving the zone & returning. This does not apply to Beholder drone station scanning, nor to simple scanning via the Skunk's station scanner; it simply means that if you fly near (within 500m <?range needs checking - Snafu>) to ** certain points on a station (whether previously scanned or not) there is a random chance that a discount/commission will appear again
<**within ~500m? Dock points become useable at 750m (I think that's also the discovery range); what's the 'discovery range' for iPoints? (Trojan hacks/Beholder3 scans points at 100m).. the 'discovery' ranges need checking - Snafu>
