Trader MK3 - Question

Post by FlyMario » Tue, 19. Nov 13, 19:56

Recently, another game has inspired me to go ahead and get the AP expansion for X3. If I have an automated trader, does this skill up me at all while it makes trades?

Thanks!

Ok ok... never mind :) After watching my trade rating I see my rank did go up.

It does, but at a fraction of what your player ship will do. To a point where it's abyssal at higher ranks.

It is exactly the same as "what the player ship will do". You get fixed trade rank for every ware sold/bought. Regardless of what ship is used to do it.

However, the amounts you get are linear. And the required points to increase ranks increases exponentially.
This means, gaining trade rank thru any means gets slower and slower as trade rank increases.

You say that but i got to super magnate in 8 game days from 50 Traders.

I suppose what i am saying is they make less rank yes but you have more of them so it still ranks you fast.
