Commodities
Commodities are the basic elements which are used to produce every
other piece of equipment in the Jumpgate universe. These items
range from essentials such as food and water to advanced chemicals,
medical supplies and electronics. Commodities are generally the most
profitable items to trade. Like with any other market item, clicking on a
commodity reveals additional information, such as size, price and a
more detailed description.
Power Plants
Power Plants furnish the energy needed to power a ship's various
systems. This unit produces the energy needed for all ship functions.
This does not necessarily mean it provides enough energy for all other
systems to function at maximum efficiency all the time. if you are flying
at full speed your engines might draw so much energy from the power
plant that there just isn't enough left to sufficiently power your other
systems.
