Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In Elder Scrolls or Rimworld for example, you'd be limited by how much money the trader has.
Or you could trade with something of equivalent value. And before you know it you're encumbered again, now with a set of oak furniture to sell to someone else.
In Starsector markets have infinite money, but the per-unit price actively drops the more of a good you offer. Combined with sky-high taxes if you're not selling on the black market (which has its own gotchas), this makes it impractical to earn a profit off of hoarding a single good. You're expected to watch the intel feed for market shortages and take advantage of their desperation if you want to make it as a bulk trader. Or be a little sneaky and create a shortage yourself.
It's one of only a few games where trading requires more than finding a good route and traveling back and forth. It's surprisingly fleshed out for a title that's mostly focused on combat.
I love games that do that, one of the mods for FO I used to use did that where the more you sell an item the less it's worth for a bit,although I think I could switch areas and have that reset because I think it was per area
Starsector mentioned, let's goooo.
