BlOomberg Markets
Overview
BlOomberg Markets creates random events that affect the commodity prices in specific systems. Prices can go up or down, and it's up to the player to decide whether to take advantage of an event to maximise their profit.
In operation, the OXP acts as a plugin to the Snoopers news service. Once installed, players will receive bulletins from time to time advising them of any significant changes to market trends. For a player who happens to be in the right place at the right time, significant gains can be made. However, be aware that market conditions can change quickly and there's no guarantee of the value of your cargo when you arrive at your destination. As a purely impartial information service, BlOomberg Markets takes no liability for any losses incurred.
Requirements
- Latest version requires Oolite v1.82 or greater
