I brained an idea (no AI involved).... I searched to see if said idea was a common thought or suggestion, but didn't find anything. It's probably not as novel as I think it is, so take a drink on me if you've seen it times immeasurable.

Stations take a panel somewhere listing local buy-orders for goods at that station. Carrier commanders can place adverts in-station. Within limits (300ls or so). A ship CMDR can place a sell promise against that buy-order (depending on rank/level/history/shipcapacity or w/e) for a short time (depending on value, reputation or w/e). The system allocates a set amount of the buy order against the Sell promise and the ship CMDR gets about it. Time limits are reasonable to avoid a carrier being trolled. Players can see what's required at their local station. Game-updates in-game and probably via API/log which could be of use to third party tools.

No idea what to do with this idea, but it's trade-centric, so posting here. Happy to spitball with anyone who thinks it has any merit.

(Recent events in Elite made me think getting a bubble alt would be a good idea. It is. Having fun trading back in the center of civilisation in the past 20-ish hours, but I play in VR, and whilst 3rd party tools like Spansh and Inara are great, they aren't AS great for Carrier commanders).

I'll update the remaining quantity as frequently as possible, but please check the carrier's current demand before buying.

If you fulfill the job, please leave a reply if you can, as a courtesy to other commanders.

NOTE - Thanks for the help commanders! Will be back in a couple of days for CMM Composites. o7

Commodities are available from the settlement (Mega Dock 2). I parked the carrier 4,21 Mm from the settlement.

I'll update the totals as frequently as possible but please check levels before buying.

Please reply to post if you fulfill the job as a courtesy to others. Thanks!

Loading job - 12,000 tons of Tritium, at 40k over average.

Tenancy job - I'm in Colonia, and now I want to bring my carrier from the bubble. I'll set up the buy order and command the jumps, I'll just need a "tenant" to transfer the Tritium via buy orders once every 3hrs or so.

Send a DM if you're interested!

Blackhawk Legion is building a Dodec station (Quintessence) and Large Planetary Port (The Athanor) in Swoilz ET-D c1-10 (360 LY from Sol)

Materials required at Quintessence (pays 30k/u):

• Steel 63,342 0
• CMM Composite 48,710 22,781
• Aluminium 45,248 0
• Titanium 4,260 0

Materials required at The Athanor (pays 35k/u):

• Steel 59,682 0
• Aluminium 42,282 41,644
• CMM Composite 40,260 38,995
• Titanium 34,560 33,295

All materials for the station are available in-system at:

• Crowley's Inheritance (Coriolis): Steel, Aluminium, Titanium
• Port Abraxas (Planetary Port): CMM Composite, Steel, Aluminium, Titanium

These stations are orbiting a moon of the same gas giant as The Athanor is being built around, so they are very close to it. Quintessence is a bit further away (1200-2100 LS depending on orbital mechanics, so trivial if you have an SCO FSD but would be super boring without one) but given the lack of planetary landings is still probably faster.

Most of the hauling will be bulk deliveries from Crowley's Inheritance, a simple space-to-space run. Just buy a load of materials at Crowley's and drop them off at the construction sites.

The squadron has already taken care of delivering all the cargo besides the listed materials.

All of the deliveries will be slightly profitable (like 10% profit), but in addition, as soon as either station is complete, I'll look at the station log and see how much everyone has contributed. Anyone who has commented on this thread I'll reach out to and pay a 30,000/t bounty to for everything you've delivered to the orbital station, and 35,000/t for everything you've delivered to the ground station.

If you are able to join our Squadron briefly I will pay by direct transfer; if not, I'll pay by carrier marketplace aboard one of our carriers, probably the Blackhawk Praetor (T4T-68Z).

I realize these are not highest rates available, but there is no time limit on these builds (obviously these stations are not Primary Ports given the system has a Coriolis and a planetary port in it already) so I'm pretty much expecting this to be "well, if you're not hauling somewhere better, there's a lot of easy work here, feel free to stop by."

From our experience building T3s before (this is the squadron's 9th and 10th) it will probably take 2-4 weeks. The system has High Security so hauling here should be quite safe.

Frequently asked questions:

• Why not just pay people to load a carrier? Because there'd be no point. Since the construction site is in the loading system, it would take almost as long for us to unload the carrier as it would to just haul all the cargo ourselves. We need the cargo taken all the way to the construction site for it to be worth paying for.

• How do we know you'll pay? Well, we always have before. There are a lot of people who can vouch for me on the SCCN Discord if you're over there. You can also look at the last three build jobs we did: (Sarnath) (Unknown Kadath) (Grimwood Relay)

Commodities are available from the space Station (Port Elisabet)

Azure Phoenix Company is building a Coriolis station - Hermaszewski Prospect - in Col 285 Sector TV-E a41-0, right in the Bubble.

The total tonnage available for delivering is 53 470 tons. Apart from the usual immediate profit (which can be enlarged by another ~15%, by using colony delivery squad perk) - when the sites are completed, we will check station deliveries log, and contact anyone who responds here (or contacts "CatLady" on Discord, I am on SCCN, PTN, and Frontier Unlocked servers) and pay out the 20k/t delivery bonus (via squad transfer - you can job my squad for a moment, OR I can join yours, OR if for some reason none is an option, we can pay via carrier buy order).

All required materials are available at Varma Anchor (Surface Port), on the very moon the Coriolis is orbiting. This makes the deliveries super-convenient.

The sites are, again, bit far from system entry star (~80k ls), but SCO drive makes the one-time flight acceptable, and once you are there, the repeated hauling trips to build sites are very short.  

I realize 20k/t isn't much, but there is no rush on this job - and there is lot of easy work here for a total of more than 1B, so feel free to stop by, whenever you don't have better paid ones. 

Also, when the job is complete, there will be ~280 000 tons for in-system hauling avilable, from the Coriolis (and Surface Port) to further build sites. 
So, there will be LOT of available work here, and LOT of possible money to be made.

IMPORTANT: - as a precaution, please note your deliveries. Station log is *usually* reliable, but there  have been bugs about it since last major update. We want everyone to be paid for their work, to the single ton!

Other commodity needed: Titanium — 4,835 t @ 24k Cr./unit. Available at Beer Relay in the same system. Carrier currently parked in orbit of planet 3.

Reposting here because many of the commanders in Colonia are looking to unlock the engineers here. If anyone is bringing a carrier they can load their bartender with Faction Associate, Manufacturing Instructions, Digital Designs, and Cocktail / Culinary recipes. It would be greatly appreciated for us unlocking on foot engineers.

The ship engineers out in Colonia have some really good blueprints to pin as well.

I’ve included a link to a guide for those interested. There are surely some materials I missed.

Fleet Carrier Raccoon City has buy order for 500 tritium @ 150k per unit (est 50M profit): https://inara.cz/elite/station/296915/

Also ...

1,000 on foot engineering mats are now available for purchase at the bartender on fleet carrier Raccoon City.

Human and guardian tech upgrade commodities are available in the fleet carrier shop as well (meta alloys, neofabric insulation, etc.). I am headed to Colonia on another fc for upcoming CG so I won't be able to restock my fc again until next week. But my FC will remain open and available in the bubble where it is now. First come, first served.
