Let's welcome our new peers! With APEX's payment restrictions being removed across all systems, a second wave of colonies partaking in the program is to be expected. But alas, not everyone is created equal: Only Pro users possessing at least an Asteroid-tier license will have the full power of APEX at their fingertips.
The newly introduced company ratings serve to indicate a company's trustworthiness on the market. With the latest update, it is possible to trade with no rating at all, but with restricted access to Local Markets, the Chamber of Global Commerce, and some other aspects of APEX.
With the recent introduction of Local Markets, there is now a dedicated system in place for moving products between companies at ANY price. To limit Commodity Exchanges strictly to fair trading between business partners, price bands now limit how much a product's price can deviate from its previous average.
