Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In Starsector markets have infinite money, but the per-unit price actively drops the more of a good you offer. Combined with sky-high taxes if you're not selling on the black market (which has its own gotchas), this makes it impractical to earn a profit off of hoarding a single good. You're expected to watch the intel feed for market shortages and take advantage of their desperation if you want to make it as a bulk trader. Or be a little sneaky and create a shortage yourself.
It's one of only a few games where trading requires more than finding a good route and traveling back and forth. It's surprisingly fleshed out for a title that's mostly focused on combat.
Starsector mentioned, let's goooo.
I love games that do that, one of the mods for FO I used to use did that where the more you sell an item the less it's worth for a bit,although I think I could switch areas and have that reset because I think it was per area
