I really explored far jump to SALT) but havent found any of em..I only see that republic/sab buy em for 6200 but well the cheapest price for sell ive seenwas dor 6222 in m-480.....
regarding the science equipment...i only found stations that buys em...none that sell em....

k forgot i saw a 6168 sell to but thats not worth at all....

If somebody would know one, they wouldn't post, because they'd want to use them.

i've found 4 systems selling New Tech for a reasonable profit margin - you've got a l40 so explore (way "north" of salt btw...) - around 150-250 cr per item, tho no guarantee of a full load

Nowehere in the explorable galaxy sells science equipment at the moment - maybe in the next patch

Military supplies from paints plaza can make a profit - again in deeper space rather than known systems. plenty of places buy, at profits btwn 150-500 cr per item

not a bug in the prices - MIt has commented before (see space trade thread http://theuniversal.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3131 ) - about these being luxury bonuses - hence their rarity

galactic economy is a mystery - supply and demand, distance and effort involved in transporting goods, how much whisky mit had before he set it up...
so many variables

long distance economy is pretty new & still being worked on AFAIK - so prices/stock amounts may change as new patches are developed.

won't give exact co-ordinates - that's making it too easy and takes the fun out of exploration :

will give hints/tips as appropriate - not gonna be selfish about a game, and it makes for more interest - more competition is good

Hmmm since New techs are bought in Cirrus the sell price should get lower as more far i m away from cirrus......a reverse axis to the Mil. hard.

Or add some "buystations" in the "SE-axis"
