:: Elite Pilots Federation Alert::

Thought to be as a result of a recent successful recruitment drive, which has seen a marked increased numbers of new Pilot Federaton members, all star ports have reported a significant rise in accidents and violations. Members are kindly advised to take extra care when approaching star ports and adhere to all docking and exiting protocols.

Demand for the new Docking Computers has exceeded analysts' expectations, with shipyards reporting these utility modules are more popular than the previous best selling C2 Pulse Laser.

:: Market Information::

Ship Sales (by market share)

The significant mandatory ship recall that affected all shipyards this week has thrown the entire market into turmoil.

Faulcon deLacy benefited the most with sales of new Sidewinders commanding a very impressive 89% of the market. Sales of the Cobra Mk III were decimated by the recall, so the launch of their long awaited Viper was accelerated.

Zorgon Peterson saw a remarkable turn of fortunes as their highly paid new marketing team helped the Hauler grab a 7% market share this week.

The Core Dynamics Eagle struggled to keep up in contrast, capturing less than 2% of the market.

Lakon had even less success with their new Type 6 trading ship this week, taking less than 1% of the market. Time will tell how their Type 9 will fare.

Space Camo

As predicted, the Galaxy has become even more colourful with numerous sightings of Commanders sporting new paint jobs on their ships. The numbers of extreme retro ancient Earth camoflage designs have caused quite a stir – the purely decorative colours have left some veteran members shaking their heads in bemusement at the naivety of expecting ancient camo to be of benefit in space. A vox pop of some of the younger members commanders indicates they are aware of that thank you very much, but they want to ‘express themselves’. This one may run and run…

Meanwhile, the Core Dynamics Eagle Red Streak and Orange Mohawk are also proving popular, and we hear rumours that Faulcon deLacy is preparing new designs for its Viper heavy fighter.

Fish

Fish floated back to the top of the traded good charts this week.
