While exploring the Frontier, you may encounter Roaming Trader Drones moving between settlements and points of interest. These drones act as traveling merchants, bringing goods and resources to different areas of space.
What Are Roaming Trader Drones?
Roaming Trader Drones are mobile trade units that follow routes across the Frontier. They do not stay in one place for long. When a Trader Drone arrives at a location, Riders have a limited window to interact with it before it continues on its journey.
Trading With a Drone
When a Roaming Trader Drone is present, players can:
- Purchase items and resources carried by the drone.
- Sell eligible goods in exchange for available rewards or resources.
- Take advantage of trading opportunities that may not be available locally.
The inventory offered by a Trader Drone can vary, making each encounter potentially valuable depending on your needs and current market conditions.
Why They're Important
Roaming Trader Drones create opportunities for pilots who are willing to travel, scout, and stay informed.
You might discover:
- Hard-to-find resources.
- Materials that are scarce in your current region.
- Profitable trading opportunities between different areas of the Frontier.
- Access to supplies without making a long trip to another settlement.
