How do I know if a sector is wealthy or prospectous

[LigmaLlama]

Confused? I can't see a single thing that says this, is it the more stars the better? "Economy"

[Suzaku]

Equip an economy scanner on your ship. While looking at a system with an economy (since some systems are empty), you'll see an icon showing what type of economy it is, and 1-3 stars next to it. 3 stars are the good ones.

okay thanks, so more stars the better! Cheers! What ones give S class ships and the best frighters, it's my main question. thanks for the response!

The theory is the more wealthy a system is, the more your chance of spawning a S class freighter. It's still RNG, and i've seen someone say he reloaded 60 times to get one.

I believe the wiki said something like 2-star and 3-star economies have s-class ships, but the chance, even at 3-star, is still really low. I spend over 3 hours last night waiting around multiple trade posts and saw precisely one s-class ship, and it was the smallest one possible.

The star rating you're talking about is a systems "general" wealth level from crap at 1 star, okay at 2 star, and great at 3 star. In these star categories you subcategories of wealth.

s- class chances are like 2% at wealthy. there is no magic bullet for finding them easily. it's still a 1 in 50 CHANCE for everything that spawns. 500 attempts later you may still be looking. play the game. an s-class freighter if that's what you're after is about 450million to purchase

Is that a new Beyond price? Last S-class freighter I bought was 174 million.

Depends on how lucky you are. I got an S class freighter in one hour with about 10 warps. So very lucky I think. I didn't have the economy scanner, but had a "feeling" about one system being the best chance, and it turned out that is where I found it.

You need to equip an economy scanner on your starship, and then look for the symbol while viewing the systems in the star map.

How far does a economy scanner scan?

[buder28]

nvm i just didn't understand how it worked and forgot to expend but thanks

Unlimited. If it's equipped, you could tell the economy of a system a million lightyears out of your jump range if you wanted to.

Its sad that you cant buy ships from a "player". Making over 500 Mio the day, but can't "share" it :D
