Shopping tips

• Compare prices before you travel. The same item can cost ten to thirty percent more at outposts versus city shops. Use Gallog.co to check before making a long trip.
• Buy consumables in bulk at cities. MedPens, food, and ammo are cheap in the city. Stock up so you are not paying outpost prices later.
• Check stock before traveling. Shops can run out of specific items. The Star Citizen wiki and Gallog track current availability so you can confirm stock before a long trip.
• Watch for faction requirements. Some high-end items require a certain standing with a faction before they will sell to you. Check the requirements in the wiki before wasting a trip.
