Trader

The Trader

The trader who trades things!

The trader is a mysterious canine woman that can be found hiding in various spots around the stations, perhaps in a maintenance shaft or relaxing beside a lake. She carries a variety of rare wares and is willing to part with them, for the right price. What she wants in return can vary from shift to shift. Sometimes she'll trade for money or other rare items, but quite often she is only interested in curious coins.

The value of money or items that you give to her are banked for that shift, but do not carry over between shifts. Be aware that the banked money is shared between all crew who interact with her, so if you don't want other people spending the currency you've given her, you can withdraw them!

Inventory

The trader has a large number of items that she may have in stock, but will only ever have five of them available on any given shift, the most likely of which is a capture crystal. Here is a list of all the items that she might sell, and the price that she charges for each (in terms of curious coins). Many of these items are described in Special Items

Curious Coins

The primary way of trading with the trader is by the use of these strange coins that can be found rarely in trash piles, in points of interest or loot on exploration missions. There are four types of these coins that can be found, in ascending rarity and value:

The basic coin, with a value of 1.

The basic coin, with a value of 5.

The basic coin, with a value of 10.

The basic coin, with a value of 20.
