Section on black market trading states:

« The skills needed for this type of trading are varied, with a single skill (Black Market Trading - each level of which reduces the chance of contraband detection by 10 per cent), only being available at character creation. »

However, I couldn't find any reference to this Black Market Trading skill, even in the character creation process.

Visibility Skill

Finally we have 'Order Manipulation' skills. These include Marketing (which allows you to sell goods you have in other stations in the same region), Procurement (place remote buy orders in stations in the same region) and Visibility, which allows other players to see your sell orders in relation to their distance from where the sell order was placed. It's a misnomer that all sell orders are visible across a region. If you have no Trade skills and you want to sell a shuttle you've just repackaged, someone has to actually dock in the station to see the shuttle for sale.

I have to question the assertion that sell orders are not visible across a region. I can see any of my sell orders, wherever I am in a region, without visibility. This is using the regular market windows (not going into contracts and checking the market of a particular sell item through there). Furthermore, every description I have seen of Visibility describes it as relating to buy orders, not sell.

Visibility increases the range of remote buy orders using Procurement, as the skill description says. It has nothing to do with selling.--Btek 06:56, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

You can edit the page yourself. This is a wiki. Since it is a factual inaccuracy, go ahead and change it, its not like you are changing someone's opinion. Now of course, that's my opinion. Escoce 14:59, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

OUTSIDER TRADING

There is no 'NPC Market' info in the wiki Item DB--Btek 06:43, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Should this be merged with the regular trading article?

Two articles seem unnecessary. The topic is trading for both of them, and having two articles seems to make no more sense than having two articles for invention or anything else. The basics can be covered at the beginning of the article and the casual trader need go no further.
