{{tag>[guides]}} ===== 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. ---- **Apprentice** \\ Pay: Free \\ New Abilities: * Will purchase required goods only. ---- **Courier** \\ Pay: 20 Credits per Mizura \\ New Abilities: * Sell Station Products * Trade with/from [[Trading Station|Trading Stations]] and [[Equipment Dock|Equipment Docks]]. ---- **Supplier** \\ Pay: 25 Credits per Mizura \\ New Abilities: * Buys upgrades for ship (including Fighter Drones, and Ship Upgrades) * Coordinates with other CAGs to prevent things like the overbuying of goods. ---- **Trader** \\ Pay: 30 Credits per Mizura \\ New Abilities: * Can use a Jumpdrive * Can deal with Intermediate Products. ---- **Dealer** \\ Pay: 35 Credits per Mizura \\ New Abilities: * Avoids hostile sectors. * Sell products to make more credits available to the factory if the factory is running low on supplies and does not already have enough money to buy them. ---- **Major Dealer** \\ Pay: 40 Credits per Mizura \\ New Abilities: * Will repair ship if damaged, and will continue to search for the best deal even after departing the station. ---- 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! ---- There are many configuration options for how these units behave.
