Orbital Trader
Your future wealth revolves around a star
As planets rotate on their orbits, you must choose the most
profitable trajectory. But beware: to win the millions of billions of dollars you
deserve you'll have to make sure the planets prosper as well.
The definitive space trading game.
In Orbital Trader each of the planets can only build one good type. This is where you
and your only interplanetary spaceship in the system come in to make a
killing profit.
Getting rich is easier than ever in Orbital Trader. Buying low and selling high
is guaranteed - since each planet will only sell the one good it is producing and will
pay well for all the others.
Getting rich fast is where the challenge is at. You'll have to navigate
with much skill so you can visit as many planets as possible in the shortest
amount of time. And if you think that only the expensive goods will be
worth trading, think again. Maybe you won't get rich by trading food and medicine,
but if you do the planetary populations will grow fast and you'll watch
your profits explode.
Don't think trading is all there is to the game. You'll have to upgrade your
ship until it becomes a huge transport vessel. You'll race to complete very
profitable special transport missions. You'll have to stop a
deadly virus from ravaging the system.
You'll need to make the best of the special events that occur on planets:
- Shortages - sell enough goods to stop the crysis or
take advantage of the high prices?
- Overproductions - buy as many goods as you can for a cheap price
- War - perhaps you like to be an arms dealer?
- Worm holes - travel rapidly through rifts in the space time continuum
- And many others
Earn enough money and you'll be able to invest in the planets. The choice
of what should be built is yours:
- Factories - these will create and sell goods on the
local market (you keep the profits)
- Space Elevators/Portals - they cost a fortune but they speed you up so
you can trade more
- Art galleries - they teach the population about why they should buy art from you
- Megacaves/Megatowers - solve the overpopulation problem
- Bonds - if you don't feel like taking risks, just lend money to the government
- And many others
