Hi all,
Today we are opening up testing for the new multibuy feature. We have not yet committed to a release for it, but we want to start public testing on it now and see how that goes before deciding when it will be released.
It's been a commonly requested feature by players and devs alike so we are pretty excited to be introducing it... now reshipping after losing a ship will be so much easier. :D
The target user group is the crowd that wants to buy their stuff "here and now", even though that can come at a slightly higher price.
Those who like to play the market game and focus on margins will probably in most cases want to have a full context for the orders of each item, so we decided to focus the user experience on the immediate buyers and keep things simple. Therefore, multibuy will only offer immediate buys in a station in your current solar system.
Convenience comes at a price, so with multibuy, the unit price you pay for each item type will be the price at which you can buy the quantity you requested. Similar to the multisell window, each item type in the multibuy window shows how the unit price compares to the average price, and a tooltip will show the best price in the station, solar system as well as region. If the price is not to your liking you can always remove those items from the buy order and buy them order by order from the market window.
You will still be able to set up single non-immediate orders, just like before.
The multibuy window can be opened when right clicking two or more items in your hangar ("Buy all..."), from fittings ("Buy fit..." button), right clicking a folder in the Market Quickbar ("Buy all...") or by opening the multibuy window from a button in the Market window and dragging stuff into it.
So, please test it out let us know what you think!
In the process of making this feature, we had to make some changes to the multisell window, so it would also be appreciated if you tested that out too.
Please file bugreports on any issues you find (you can also mention them here, but not instead of bugreporting them).
Known issue:
- icons for green&red arrows to indicate whether the price is above or below regional average are missing from this build

I need to test the multi-buy window for to see how it works (so sorry if this is not appropriate, or already implemented), but in the inverse situation (I want to buy 10 units, and only 2 are available at the current best price), it buys those 2 and spawns a new window for the remaining 8 at the next best price). That's what we did with multibuy (didn't change multisell)

Good suggestion! I'll look into what we can do (probably not for the initial release though)

Could you please file a bug report from in-game (F12) right after right clicking the quickbar? Thanks! |
