Really? No traders at trader faction hq?!

[UncleBensRicin]

I find the trader faction homeworld. Exciting I think! There must be epic traders! Nope, joke's on me there are NO traders at the TRADE FACTION hq. I mean there are 2 cyborgs by the entrance. Yet another disappointment from Eleon. Womp Womp

Well it's their headquarters, not a trading station.
You won't find any checkouts at my store's corporate office either. :D

Yes I reported this as a bug a while back. Probably a work in progress.

How do you know? I'm curious now whether they'll change it or not

Changing something is not the same as being a bug. When you want a trader, do you go to their mining facility, or to the space station clearly marked for trade?

If there was a trader spawn pad in the poi's design and it wasn't spawning a trader in survival then that would be a bug. If the poi does not have a trader spawn pad then it's not a bug.

Should it have a trader? Well that's a different question altogether. Just because it's the trader faction doesn't mean to say (in my eyes) that every single poi they have MUST have a trader.

What the OP and other people apparently want is wandering traders like those in The Witcher 3... or perhaps they'd rather have a trader minion like in WoW or FF that can be summoned at will and/or follows you around to do your transactional bidding?

The game works so that you need to explore to find the exact position of the traders, they are not mobile and they will always be at the same place and sell the same stuff. You will find them at some weird places like in an angle of a hangar or such, explore everything, once you've done that you'll know where to find them. As for that, it doesn't matter at all if the HQ has traders or not, continue exploring until you find them. That's how it works.

I'm not too happy with this setup, I rather would enjoy the traders having random stuff to sell me everytime I visit them, at variable prices, this would make the entire game more varied.

No need to get bitter.

You've got a point though, we should embrace the challenge. I also like it when I can share a tip like "At this one station, at planet xc;lkj;alkfe, I found a guy with THIS DEAL!!" It's part of the excitement, and is realistic economically, a little bit. Fun fun.

It wasn't bitterness... it was an attempt at humor. Silly me!
