According to sources from the trading world a significant upgrade has been performed on the Galactic Market trading system. The auctioning system which was launched at the beginning of this year has seen many improvements from its original design but today it has received a tremendous overhaul.

Our reporter managed to gain a few moments of Niels Risant's time for a quick interview. According to Mr. Risant the upgrade had been in the works for about two months with steady development leading up towards today's upgrade. According to the lead programmer no significant difficulties were found in the conversion of the old system, and no problems have yet been reported by the growing amount of traders. Mr. Risant added "it's a tremendous upgrade, and many of the improvements are not emediately visible. All those who participated and I hope it will be well recieved."

A passing trader, who turned out to be Hapes' Minister of Trade, Indy Foreman, told our reporting crew "this Market makes trading less painfull!" adding that "none of the bothers, like haggling, tied traders down at the Galactic Market!"

Mr. Risant gave away that other exciting upgrades, including a section run by Black Sun, were in the works and would be released on a similarly speedy schedule.
