What do these (- -) and (-) and (+ +)?

Simply put: (- -) means that cheap, (+ +) means expensive. Thus, the following applies: (- -) is a main export product, (-) is a (normal) export, (+) is an import good, and (+ +) is a main import. Buy one should (-), and perhaps (-), sell only (+ +), possibly also in (+).

Have sold my stuff and get 158.8 Cr. Minus the ton hydrogen to the airport (cost here 10.6) 148.2 Cr remain so. Say: 48.2% profit. Is this a normal value?

Yes, that may well be. The profit depends of course on the goods from, and the number that can be transported. The fluctuation of a commodity is also subject to the goods themselves, the variation in gemstones example, is considerably less than with computers. This might mean that a trading computer can bring more profit than with precious stones, although gems are generally more expensive than computers. Something to look brings a lot. The assessment of export and import goods is relative to the maximum variation of the goods.

Do I have to first buy cheap goods, and then see if there is a system that this product has as Import?

Of course not. The specified version is the easiest (in my opinion) to get to know the action. Sometimes it is even better if you look first, what is Import in a system, and only then see if there is an export commodity in the current system. Since each complete freedom is granted.

Why there goods that cost a NEGATIVE amount?

In waste Radioactive materials and a balance must be paid if you want to get rid of them. This corresponds to a negative trading amount. Thus, you get money if you buy the goods, and you have to pay money when they are sold. In the relative evaluation is: (-) is less than normal (ie more negative) so that export, (+) is more expensive than normal (that is, less negative) and hence import good. Radioactive materials you get eg in a military drive.

Changing the import and export of goods (or prices) on the planet anyway? If so, accidentally or supply / demand?

Once a day, you will be re-calculated, of course, they follow the supply-demand law.

What's the deal with the illegal goods to?

Illegal goods are actually forbidden goods in the system. If you let yourself get caught in such goods by the police, it is your fault. Therefore, a word of advice: do not trade in illegal goods! Unfortunately, there are always a few "dealer", which sometimes squat in the bar in dark corners and trading these goods at higher prices. But the police also dabbles often in between!

I can not afford a more hyper drive, how do I get money anyway?

If you only can make an interplanetary drive is still, you can make some money in the garbage disposal: you invite to Radioactive material goes to the sun and throws off the charge. This method is not very profitable, but it should be possible to have more then enough money in a few days for the Hyper Drive Class I. Another option is to sell water fuel from gas giants on the station. For this purpose, but you need a more or less expensive "fuel scoop"(see Equipment), then you have a gas giant to fly and maintain. The tank nozzle working automatically when you are in the orbit of a gas giant. Over time, the tons of hiking in the cargo area, which you can then sell at a station. Also, any excess equipment should be strengthened. Used only one drive and a firearm. If one flies to no ground stations, also the atmospheric shield unnecessary. If one is too bland, you also have the option to delete, and re-create. Then one must, however, accept the loss of the entire experience and the Ulite points.
