The market is now up and running. To access the market, click on the Planets tab. The market is the new fourth option on the left of the screen. Please use the market and let me (Iiridayn) know how it can be improved.

This is a beta version of the market, so it will change over time. Now is the time to make recommendations, as it is currently as easy to change as it ever will be. I am interested in particular in comments about how useful the explanatory text was, and how to improve it ("complaining without offering a solution is simply whining" -- A roomate of mine). Lithuanian text translations are also appreciated, and I'll get to converting the hard coded strings into variable language strings as soon as I have enough of another language to make it worth it.

Thank you for your patience while waiting for the market.

You probably offered to sell it. It will remain for sale until somebody sees your price as desirable, and purchases it from you.

Interesting

1) If you post to sell resources at one price but someone posts lower is there a way to lower your price to meet market demands? Conversely - Is there a way to increase your price if resources are being sold too quickly?

2) If you make an offer to sell something but want the resources back can you pull it off the market?

3) Can you purchase/sell resources for something other than credits (i.e. sell troops for iron)? It doesn't appear so now but I would think that would help trade.
