The Ice farms do not restock .. Microsaurs like the Moss, it is NOT like I was just saying it because I am a fan of the Ice farms.......
Auton dealers do not restock.... I got to get a Platform for my Tyrn collection the Ventari sold me.....

Hotels run OUT OF MONEY TO BUY STUFF !!!!!!! I actually never knew that :) but they do not do anything to gain credits either, unlike a station that " can not afford to buy .. " I just buy whatever I can to get them the credits to offload the heavy stuff. But you can not do that with the Hotel, they do not say " hey, buy some of these towels, want some luxury soap ? ... hold on , we got to get a delivery before we can buy more ( then the player waits until after a Korolov shipment arrives to restock the station credits : but killing the freighter would be worthless because it is only activating the reset)

Now I understand that these are Specialty Items : and even in my attempts to do shipping systems for hard to please stations I totally failed the Auton dealer... and the Ice farms had more then I could buy.....
However, In the Merchant Emporium the station Allegedly restocks based on a timer or table..... I barely remember it because I only saw the .xml once and could NEVER get anything like it to work for me.

I was WONDERING if we could get more of the Galactic Trader of stations restocking specialty items while they are alive : like the Cofffee ...... everybody needs coffee in Transcendence, but there is only so much to go around and Corporate is Screaming at the docks about how if they had more coffee they might go to ReHab ( and you know they are almost always wasted on something the way they throw money around ) : the bell fruits are cool but if you were at the party last month where some of the droids dressed in TuTu s : you would think there are enough fruity things in the universe :)


Soo, that is what I was thinking while trying to find my way around the Nebula tonight........ I don't know : I was interested in a game that I could play offline and enjoy time after time : but Transcendence turned out to NOT be a game : it is Life Style of the Player, a genuine Role you can actually get into and want to just fly the systems, Mine, trade, do missions and , ok , if you insist, shoot stuff :)

The NICE thing about Eridani is that you are not under assault.
"To Fight you must be prepared to Die....."
Most people are not seriously interested in a high energy starting point : you have to gain credits, equipment , some skill with learning your ships behavior and the devices or items it can carry.
And in Eridani you can Mine and I would seriously like Eridani to have the Mining and commerce a little more " present " as it shows in the .xml I do : but that is me .
The normal Eridani is fine and I never exactly FEEL that when I expand things that I actually made something I would not later change , so my thought s there are worthless :O

In a Regular game I spend well over an hour drifting and firing my Mining Laser, conserving fuel and just relaxing in Eridani and the system that follows : I often NEVER stop Mining, every system with Rocks gets Mined once I am sure my ship is basically safe from walking right into a Hostile station.
In many games and systems I just Mine the entire Universe, trade when I am full , Kill along the way....then return to mining :)

in my Post " SOOOOOO CLOSE!!! " you will see it took me 4 hours and 44 minutes just to ALMOST get through the Dorado System.

AND that was actually more testing some ideas then just my normal playing because right NOW my Freighter is on the star on STK : I been playing for 8 hours and 44 minutes and I STILL have to do the missions in STK before I leave there ( Black Market Mission to STK is completed and my Cargo Hold is returned to a Miner's :) I do not think that you need the Smuggler's Hold in STK because once the Delivery Mission is complete, and you sold off to most large stations : you can just unload at the enclave safely)

33 Fusion triggers !!! I forgot, my Mule has them.....I got to go sell them.
Flying Irresponsibly In Eridani......

I don't like to kill pirates in cold blood ..I do it.. but I don't like it..

couldn't you use "recurrentTimeEvent" for replacing itens & credits on stations...?
