Elite: Dangerous - Sourcing Commodities (Trade Missions)
Bulletin Board Trade Missions. How to use the Galaxy Map to find commodities, leaving Supply & Demand: • Elite: Dangerous - Fastest way to make mon... for a seperate guide. Whilst on a mission for 2x Dom. App, I combine it with market trading during my trip as my cargo hold is otherwise empty on my journey to the destination. This is not a particular profitable excursion, however using the same principle in a wider net with Supply & Demand will make you decent credits in no time. (note link to seperate guide above showing how "Supply and Demand" works, which is where the big money is made, but you need a basic understanding of the Galaxy Map trade tools first)
Procedure exercised is a little erratic. So to confirm it: HAVE ALL COMMODITIES SELECTED TO SEE IF A TRADE ROUTE IS INDICATED. IF SO, UNCHECK ALL BUT MAIN CATEGORY, AND TURN EACH ONE ON, AND THEN BACK OFF AGAIN, THROUGH EVERY INDIVIDUAL RESOURCE TO SEE WHICH SPECIFIC COMMODITIES ARE WANTED, (OR EXPORTED IF YOU'RE TRYING TO 'FIND' A CERTAIN COMMODITY), TAKING NOTE OF EACH YOU FIND.
(Further odd behaviour executed during this guide occurs by me selecting each and every category individually when I'm wanting them all selected / turned back on. One can drag the mouse down progressively over all commodity check boxes whilst holding the mouse button to select/unselect them all at once, for whatever weird reason, I'm not performing this technique even though I use it regularly).
