lol, this is a first time for me and it happened by accident. I came off a planet and thought i would top up the fuel in my ship. Little did i realize... all i had in my pocket was 14 creds....I rapidly docked to pick up the fuel and fluked the perfect trade. lol... don't ask me to do it again, as i have no idea how i accomplished the trade, it looks strange to me.... lmao, way cool.

Here it is:

Venom docked 10 hours and 40 minutes ago.

You have haggled 5 points many times but never noticed because the script does it for you.

I wrote a script many years ago in a script challenge to get 5 exp every trade.
To do this I used a pod on a maxed port , everytime the port got to 100% product
I'de do a trade .. gain 5 exp then wait again till port was at 100% to do it again.

I takes all day to gain 32k exp so I decided there were better ways to gain exp. in
an unlim game.

Remember this still takes turns to do in turn based games.

Most people use triple trading for that. Buydown an
SSS port, 2 exp per trade, that's 6 exp total. Dump
to a planet or jet, repeat.

If you do 10 units per at a time, and it's at 2000 each,
that'd be 200 turns for 1200 exp. Not super useful,
but it has its in some edits.

I suppose if you can nail the 5exp every time, you
could get 3000 exp instead. That would be 16 and 40
bustup cycles each. The former isn't worth it unless
planets very expensive, the latter... eh, actually could
be worth doing sometimes.
