Wares in each sector

[.dot aka Saddok]

Is there any way to properly list all the wares that can be bought/sold in a sector?

There seems to be a built-in version of the bestby/sell software that existed in previous X games, but it does not seem to list everything available?

Is there a proper sector overview somewhere hidden in the menus / in an upgrade?

its in your map, is inactive by default

You can turn your selection on and off using the 2. button to the left of the search bar. useful to get an better overview on the map.

the button on the top right above the legend symbol opens your setting options for the trading window (symbol of a funnel in a circle). It would take time to explain all the setting options, so I would recommend experimenting with the settings and then asking what is still unclear.

- Up to five goods can be displayed, if no special goods are selected, the best purchase and sale prices are displayed
- it can only be displayed by visited and still active stations (5 minute window, can be improved later in the game)

No, there is no way to display all wares being bought or sold in a sector. Quite shocking really as Rebirth managed to display all wares being bought and sold in the entire game in one screen.

Thing is, it doesnt really does it? It displays the top 5 like you said.

(Its bad).

Current UI seems to be rather a big step back from the previous games for some reason then :/

There's also no way to show proper lists of stations or ships in a sector is there? The only list I found is 'dynamically' changing based on the map zoom :/

If you want a proper list of stations and ship in a sector it works the same way but with a different menu. (note like the trade list it needs you to at least revealed the station)

There is an object list when you open the map that shows all stations and ships in what your looking at but what you probably wanted is a list that show everything that being traded in that sector.

[...]

You can see the top 4 for supply and demand in each sector in the Encyclopedia under Galaxy.

in the encyclopedia of galaxy it also shows all KNOWN productions modules in sector. So you can make an educated guess what they would want in that sector.

So, all the data is here. But there's no proper way to display it? Feels like an artifical hurdle, rather than a feature...

No its not you need more then like 6 things on your list your bad lol. I mean who trades in 15 diffrent things? Especially in x4? I mena I don't even buy any more I just sell, in fact I let my station manager find the best prices to sell my products now. I mean it so uneccesary to see all that data at once when you don't have to micro manage to that scale any more lol

you can change the default amount of wares buy and sell shown (from the 4), It is one of the map options.
and if you expand the map to show the whole sector it should display the whole sector mins and maxes.

Don't have to =/= Don't want to. Everyone has their own playstyle and ways to enjoy a game as complex and sandboxy as the X-Series. The point is also not about not needing to see all that data, but about not being able to see it currently :/

yeah, i liked in x rebirth the option to click one button to set buy and sell order, know it feels slower to do it.

A bit outdated, but maybe someone find it useful. :)
U can display more than 5 wares in sector, just type manually number, instead of using slider. Found yesterday, displayed 25 or 30 wares when searched for goods to local AutoTrade in Argon Prime.
