Understand Trading How Trading in SC works [DE]

Trading and hauling are often confused in Star Citizen - but both game mechanics work fundamentally differently.

This video is all about trading: i.e. about trading with your own money, your own risk and your own decisions.

We look at it step by step, – how trading basically works – what role the ship plays – how to roughly estimate trade routes – and why you should start with clear boundaries as a beginner

Using concrete examples, I show how goods are purchased, transported and sold - with real numbers, manageable risk and a direct comparison to hauling missions.

This video is not a meta guide, but rather a beginner-friendly introduction that is intended to show how trading is intended and what you should pay attention to before investing larger sums.
