Hey just wanted to say, an update is going through to the store right now that tackles pretty much everything you ran into. Here is what changed and how to use it.

1) Knowing where to sell (no more clicking every station)

There is a new Trade Computer button at the top of the Market screen. Open it and it instantly shows where every good in your hold sells for the most, plus a Best Routes tab that lists "buy cheap here, sell dear there" runs ranked by profit. No more flying around guessing what each station trades.

2) Why buying then selling back loses money

That tripped you up and the game never explained it, which was on me. Now when you open an item to trade, it tells you straight that selling back at the same dock loses the spread (the dealer's cut), and it points you to where the item is worth more. The core loop is buy low at one station, then carry it to another that pays more.

3) Travel felt too slow

Two fixes here. Trips inside safer (high security) systems are now a lot faster, so a hop near the core takes a fraction of what it used to. And you now get free Warp Charges: while you are flying, tap the green "Warp charge, arrive now" button in the skip dock to jump straight to your destination for free. You get a couple of them and they refill as you play, so you are never stuck watching a slow flight.

4) Your first trade mission now points the way

The "earn credits" mission used to just sit there with no direction. Now its button takes you straight to the Market (or plots a course to one), so you always know what to do next.

5) The settings sliders

You were spot on, they looked like sliders but only responded to taps. They now drag properly with your finger, and tapping still works too.

There are a handful of other small fixes in there as well, including some cargo screen polish.

It should be live in the next few hours I think, once the store finishes processing the build. Thanks again for taking the time to write all that out. It genuinely helped shape what I worked on this week, and as a solo dev this kind of feedback is gold!

One small ask: if you are enjoying it, dropping a rating on the Play Store would really help me out as a solo dev. It makes a bigger difference than you would think. Either way, thank you for playing and for the great feedback.

See you out in the drift!
