  • It's been a while since I played, but I seem to recall your standing with them being the major factor. The system level might also factor in.

The barter rates are affected by your local faction reputation which you can confirm easily yourself by checking prices before and after a bribe and by the perks from your currently used specialists.

The Specialist perks which affect trading are:

  • Diplomat: Warpgate bribe discount

  • Slaver: Goon trade discount

  • Mediator: Relation improve discount

  • Negotiator: Blue print discount

  • In my experience prices are not affected by your relationship with the seller's faction.
