Trade
This puts you in the main concourse. There are occasional pedestrians and carts of ore
moving about the concourse. On the left of the concourse is the door to the hangar where
your ship is waiting for you. On the right there are doors on two levels: representatives
from the Merchants and Mercenaries' Guilds have their offices on the upper level; the
lower level houses the local ship dealer, bar, mission computer and Commodity
Exchange.
Buying Goods
Enter the Commodity Exchange (by clicking on its door). When the monitor comes
down it defaults to Buy Mode. Scroll through the available items using the arrow buttons
until you find goods that you can afford and that might prove desirable to an agricultural
planet. Such items might include robot workers or other durable goods. Buy as much as
you can afford by clicking on the item in the small screen. (See p. 42 for a picture of the
Commodity Exchange.)
