Developer Notes[]

There is a good chance the Station Marketplaces will be removed entirely from the game and replaced by the Auction House in Sector 0x0. This will create a common meeting area for players to network and trade in game items. However, players will still be able to craft and customize stations to fit their needs.

Also working on a editorial regarding "Instant Gratification" in games and how it applies to The Epic Space Game. This has paved way for a gameplan on Missions which are scheduled to be released after the Auction House.

What role is the Auction house supposed to play?

As we're experimenting with the new Crafting System, players will need a place to quickly attain ingredients. When the AH is deployed, players will not receive instant updates on Sold items. But this will be coming after the Missions system.

Do I have to use the auction house for trading?

No, you can still receive payments from players, and send items using the in game mail system. Just make sure you trust the buyer/seller.
