Local Stock Exchanges
Stocks based on hidden quest related wares (players will be familiar with them from the main plot and random missions of X3: Reunion, X3: Terran Conflict, X3: Albion Prelude).
Corporate Indexes
Value is based on wares in owned stations and ships and the value of owned ships.
Company Indexes
Company indexes are purely based on an array of names with a semi-randomised array of maximum and minimum stock prices. The number of available shares is (maximum - minimum share price)*2000. The trade index is ( (current trader trading value - minimum trader trading value)*100)/ (trader maximum - minimum share price).
Stock Market Manipulation
The stock market can be profitable but unreliable so whereas luck is good, control is better.
