Finding Ports
Every sector in Sectorum may contain a port — a trading station where you can buy or sell commodities. Ports have a class that determines which commodities they buy and sell. Learning which port classes complement each other is the foundation of profitable trading.
Supply & Demand
Port prices are not static. Every trade matters. Buy Ore at a port and its supply drops — the next trader will pay more for the same amount. Sell Equipment at a port and its price falls as supply increases. The market is a living system that rewards traders who understand its rhythms.
Turn Management
Every move between sectors costs turns. Every trade costs a turn. You have a finite number of turns per day, which means every trade route you run is a strategic choice: is this the highest-value use of my turns right now?
Building Routes
The best traders don't make one-off trades — they identify pairs of ports where they can buy low and sell high repeatedly. A good trade route is a money machine. A great trade route is a secret you protect.
