Black Market

The Black Market

The Black Market in BTA functions similarly to the Faction Stores but not precisely like one. Where those are gated behind reputation with their owning faction, the Black Market is gated behind a financial contribution as well as soft-gated behind Pirate reputation. While you can have access to the Black Market without good Pirate reputation, the prices spiral excessively without acceptable reputation. To gain access in the first place requires a random event to appear where the player is offered the chance to join the market, for a fee based on your Pirate reputation. The event is random and there is no way to guarantee access to it.

A rough listing of what is available in the Black Market follows. None of this is guaranteed in every Black Market, this is a rough listing of everything that is *possible* in the market.
