FEDERATION OF FREE TRADERS - Aka: FOFT (?) (?)
A Cheat For Extra Credits (Follow Instructions Below):
- Load the game and press F8, then NET to get access to the Network. Enter
HELP and press RETURN, followed by your trading name. Then press 'Y' and
make a note of the Code Sequence.
- Exit the NET by pressing 'Q', then enter QUIT followed by RETURN and hit
BACKSPACE to exit the Station. Now locate a friendly ship and lock on.
- Press F8, then NET, followed by your code, then 'T'. If it`s a friendly
ship, you`ll establish a transmission.
- Ask the trader if he is selling (be persistent!)
- When he offers you something, offer him one Credit, then LOGOFF.
- Hit 'T' again and ask if he has anything to trade. Once again, keep on
persisting until he does, but don`t barter.
- When he has offered, hit any letter key until he asks you if he wants
your goods or not.
- Now hit 'Y' and the transaction will be completed.
- Check your credits by hitting 'I' and SPACE to see what goods you have in
the hold. If there are any problems, reestablish contact and go back to
step 5.
- Repeat Step 5
- When you make your bid, make it high (5,000 credits).
- The trader will inform you that you do not have enough credits and Exit.
- Reestablish contact and ask if he wants to buy anything - but make sure
that you DO have something!!!
- He`ll ask for confirmation, so just hit 'Y'.
- When he aske how much, say 10 credits.
- When the transaction is complete, check your inventory - especially your
credits!
One thing that can cause big problems for would-be-traders is buying up
stock that you can`t shift. Here is a list of things to steer clear of:
- Simple Manuals
- Arcturan In-Flight Space Jackets
- Class-4 Missiles
- Watches (You can`t even shift them on the street corner.)
- StarPort Blasters
- Sirius Cybernetics GPP Robots
- Exotic Space Lingerie
- Sub-Etha Chronographs
The list of things below sell like hot-cakes:
- Old Janx Spirit
- Fallian Marsh Gas Cylinders
- Sub-Etha Sens-o-matics (A very useful tool for Galactic Hitch Hikers)
- Sens-o-tape copies of PlayBeing
- Arcturan Mega-Gin
- The Book
- Algolian Cigars
- Qualactin Hypermint Extract
- Algolian Claret
- Bath Towels
For some safe trading, go into communications mode by pressing F1, then get
a ship to pass the sights, press F8 and enter the NET as usual. Now press 'T'
followed by RETURN.
Now, instead of chatting to the alien as usual, just keep hitting RETURN
until he replies. When he does, he might have something to sell or otherwise
will ask you if you have anyhthing to trade. If he ignores you and logs off,
just get into the NET again and repeat the process until he loosens up. This
provides you with an easy to trade Black Market, as you don`t have to work
out anything to type in.
Advancement in rank has nothing to do with the amount of credits to your
name. It is releated to the number of missions you complete and ships
destroyed. The only way to earn a lot of credits is to haggle on the trade-
net. By staying in the space station on the net, and trading in guns, food
and gold, you will quickly build a fortune. Travelling to space stations
requires you to jump until you cannot get any further.
