SpaceTrader is an exciting game where a player aims to save up enough money to buy a moon and retire! Leveraging only a small ship and a pocket full of cash, a player can make profits by trading goods between solar systems. There are riskier and more exciting ways to make money, too: collecting bounties by hunting down pirates, becoming a pirate and robbing honest traders, and completing special quests. Beware that piracy draws a lot of police activity and increases the game difficulty significantly!
Tips and tricks:
- Visit the Ship Yard to buy more fuel. Turn on automatic fuel and repair purchase to save time!
- Look at estimated prices in the Warp view to choose the most profitable items to trade. Beware that illegal items will draw police attention!
- Tap the map in the System Info view to see a Galactic Chart of the entire galaxy.
- If you’re not interested in meeting with unthreatening pirates, police, or traders, check out the settings in Commander Status.
Though this app is a full re-write for iOS, a very special thanks goes to Pieter Spronck for developing the first Space Trader for Palm OS. Please visit his site for history, strategies, and tips that apply to this version as well: http://ticc.uvt.nl/~pspronck/spacetrader/ !
