Used the search feature, still couldn't find what I wanted. What do I have to do to use black market stations? I made my first play-through without using it but I imagine it'd be good to try out, but I'm not sure how to gain access. Help?

if you have any illegal items in your cargo hold, make your way to a hotel and select resturant. you should meet two brothers from eridani. sell your illegal item to them. they should give you a black market id chip.
hope it helps

The brothers mentioned in the post above have a 5% chance of being (corrupt) space cops instead. If that happens, you will be busted and charged 1000 credits. If you do not have the cash, game over. You get no ID from this encounter, and the brothers will not appear again.

Aside from the brothers, you may find black market ID in the wrecks of T31 ships you destroy.

If you fail to get the black market ID from the brothers, you have a good chance of not getting a black market ID in the game, and that hurts.

I have a black market chip, but just after getting my military ID I'm now getting the "you decide to not stay long" message at the nightclubs... is that their way of saying I've sold too much to that station? I can still enter the black market just fine...

EDIT: seems they just aren't interested in buying fusion triggers--I could get back there if I had some dust or something else they wanted. hmm. maybe I read the wiki wrong, I thought they'd buy those. whatever.

This is what you do:

1. Get rid of any cargo expansions you have.
2. Go to a black market near you and get a smugglers cargo hold from the dock services.
3. Load up on your drugs, go to a victorian night club, sell your drugs and dance wildly to classical music. :D

One more question on this topic:
what's the highest rank the black market can give you?
also, what's the highest fleet rank?

I recall reading somewhere here that it was a good idea to buy military goods and sell to the market, but I'll need to know when it's okay to stop the grind.

I am not sure about black market ranking, but i do know that the highest militia rank is coronel and the fleet is fleet captain.

Keep high end military goods i.e plasma weapons. In the late game but sell weapons like tev9's and star cannons to rake in good cash.

taken from the .xml files for blackmarket and the fleet : no guessing:
Black market ranks :
Level....2 : smuggler

level 3 : enforcer

level 4 : Lord Mikho makes you a member ( aka: you got "made" , have a party!!)


level 5 : Lieutenant in the Sindikat

level 6 : title of Sindikat Lord!

-------------------------
Fleet:
level 2 : title of Privateer
level 3 : rank of master sergeant
level 4 : Fleet lieutenant
level 5 : Fleet commander
level 6 : Fleet captain

To gain these levels : you do what they do......in the black market you get rank by buying from them ( not selling to them) , the fleet gives you rank for bringing thing back alive ( like wingmen, roms, transports) and killing things for them.

p.s.: if you have wingmen / drones that you feel can do the job : have the Fleet issued wingmen wait in a "safe spot" and unless things go badly, I would not put them in danger ( hit Q +B ( squadron break& attack , it will make wingmen form up without calling in your mules ))

For " unknown Hostiles " : best of luck!!!, seek out the strongest place to get help before going after the Unknown : you never know whats out there.....

You don't even need the Wiki or any outside source to figure it out. Some Container Habitats can give you a hint about the black market if you donate them some fuel.

Container habitats are a ripoff. Use the wiki, you will be glad you did.

Sometimes I prefer to play in character, without spoilers :)
It's harder and harder to do as I explore more and more of the game mechanics, so I hope more and more will be added in future versions.
