MerinidJust curious - there are many systems with "SHUI WEI" in name. Аnyone knows what does it mean in Elite?
Definitely looks like chinese, but without hanzi I don't really know what FD ment.

Other than giving me flashbacks of the Dynasty Warriors games and Romance of The 3 Kingdoms - the Kingdoms of Shu, Wei and Wu - I have no idea.

uhm, you quoted a post from more than 10 pages ago and there was already some kind of explanation for it in the following posts:

I don't know for sure, but sector names are randomly generated seven-letter words. Using 26 letters, we have some 8 billion possible sector names. SHUI WEI is just an accidental one of these names.

I wonder if they use all the seven-letters words with some meaning in any language, though 'shui wei' means 'water level' according to this Chinese dictionary: here Must be a coincidence

MerinidProblem is SHUI could mean: water, someone, sleep, tax, handkerchief
and WEI could mean: do, place, preserve... etc.
depending on which hanzi is used
But yeah if SHUI WEI is 水位 then it is water level

OliviaVesperaI wanted to share this with you as i know a fair amount of you are roleplayers but I have an interesting proposition for you.
Player owned banks.
Why? so you can directly pay other players without having to do commodity exchange with them after a job
Also because we'll be creating a separate currency that ties to CR, the bank owners could also create virtual goods. (which can be used to support roleplay). read more in the link below.

Hi William, the Market tab here on Inara will tell you a LOT about a given system and station - commodity prices, nearby trade opportunities, the services available at the facility - including shipyard or not - and which ships are available for purchase.

The Outfitting submenu has a search bar once you're on that page, and there you can enter your location, and the piece of equipment you're looking for (including entire ships), and the results will show you where the nearest stations are that carry that item.

Ship prices are fixed/standard - you can look those up in the "shipyard" submenu. Some places do offer a discount, and in the Outfitting menu/search you can look for ONLY those that are discounted.

HTH.

And a hat-tip to Artie - brilliant feature set you've got here.

I've sort of given up trading in the corvette, kinda takes forever, but I have found a new money making activity.... I've rediscovered mining, I make around 8-10mil a trip and don't have to jump the long way around. if anyone is interested in winging up for a mining run 2 or 3 times a week let me know (profits go up by 100% for each additional member). I'm on UK time so EU time-zone would be preferable.

That's all, as you were

I've been toying with the idea for a few nights now. Just to get a rest from trading and missions.
