Interstellar Trade Kiosks

[SUBJECT: Commerce Enhancement Protocol 1.042]

Greetings, Explorer!

Are your proprietary settlements suffering from a quantifiable lack of commercial dynamism? Is your ROI on outpost construction disappointingly low? Perhaps your bounties are so substantial that returning to the Settled Systems is no longer feasible? Well, worry no longer! We have seamlessly integrated a revolutionary new feature set directly into your build menu. Introducing Interstellar Trade Kiosks, the galaxy's premiere third-party solution to the Settled Systems' cripplingly centralized economy.

We've bypassed standard regulatory channels to bring you what you've been searching for: constructible shops for your outposts and starships!

[Update Highlights]

●Kiosk Inventories no longer dump on ship edit, ship transfer, or outpost removal.

●Kiosks no longer deactivate after ship transfers or edits.

●Kiosks now require fewer materials to construct.

●Credits are more varied and accurately reflect your settings choice.

●Five new crates have been added to the decorations tab with expanded storage capacities. Inventories are linkable and can hold between 1000 and 5000 mass, depending on crate size.

●Eleven original dataslates with compelling brand lore will appear at random in the Exotic Topics kiosk.

[Product Integration Specifications]

12 Constructible Commerce Modules: From apparel outlets to smuggling networks, establish a diverse marketplace tailored to your needs. Accessible exclusively from the build menu. Kiosks can be found under Miscellaneous, while storage crates can be found under decor.

Fully Propagated Inventory System: Each commerce module features a shared, dynamically-loaded inventory. (If inventory fails to regen, our technicians recommend a 48-hour UT stasis period.)

[Projected Development Trajectory]

My work is never done. I'm actively iterating on this project. Future patches will include:

○More unique brews, aid, and equipment will be added to vendor inventory lists.

○Lore Synergies: Additional dataslates with compelling lore will continue to be added with most major updates.

○Expanded Content Footprint: New Points of Interest (POIs) will start to be rolled out to enhance brand discovery. [Delayed]
