Trade Terminal
The TT (Trade Terminal)
The abbreviation TT stands for Trade Terminal. The Trade Terminal is where you will find all the basic tools and equipment you need to begin your adventures. Trade Terminals are located in all the major settlements on Calypso. You can sell almost any item to the Trade Terminal (with the exception of Vibrant Sweat, Fruit and Dung) and receive the actual TT value of the item. The actual TT value of an item is always available from the Item Info Item Info Panel
In Aim Mode, right click any object and choose Item Info
The Item Info panel is available for all items on planet Calypso. It displays all relevant information about an item including its condition, operating parameters, potential skill bonuses and more.
It also provides access to an object's historial market value. Hover the cursor over icons to receive further information.
The TT value of an item decreases as the item deteriorates through use.
As the majority of items on Calypso are looted or manufactured, they are subject to the market forces of supply and demand.
Unlimited items are bought and sold using the term TT+number. For example, you may find a colonist selling a MatterDriller MD-104 for TT+40. This means he/she wants the minings tool's current TT value plus 40 PED. Remember 10 PED = $US 1.
The %
When trading stackable and limited items the % is used.
For example you may see Animal Hide selling at 104%, meaning that the seller wants the TT value of the Animal Hide quantity x 1.04. Because the TT value will vary depending on the quantity of Animal Hide on offer, the price automatically follows the quantity on offer.
You may see a Polaris Armor Harness (L) selling at 135%, meaning the seller wants the current TT value of the harness x 1.35. As limited (L) items cannot be repaired, and their TT values decrease as they deteriorate, the current TT value reflects how much usage is left in the item. Higher usage remaining = higher TT = higher price.
