===== Commercial Agent =====

"Commercial Agent" or "CAG" is a feature added by the [[Bonus Pack]].

CAGs buy and sell goods for stations. You assign them by first assigning a homebase and then selecting "Start Commercial Representation" from the Trade menu while [[Navigation Command Software]] and [[Trade Command Software]] Mk 1 and Mk 2 are installed.

Equip a [[ts_ts|TS Transport]] with the required software, assign a **homebase**, then select "Start Commercial Representation".

==== Pilot Levels ====

Pilots level up and gain new abilities as they do, which means taking training courses. 
  * Newly employed pilots are paid no wage. 
  * From Level 2 and up, they begin to draw a wage, varying from 20-40 credits per Mizura flown. 
  * Pilot levels are shared between CAG, CLS MkI, and CLS MkII pilots.
  * Pilots can be transferred between these roles without losing rank.

This is one of my favorite features from the [[Bonus Pack]]. I try and setup one per station to keep them stocked and running smoothly. Saves a lot of time!
