Accessing Premium Data
The Info Broker Economy
Economic intelligence access operates through a player-driven market. Operatives who craft Market Intelligence Modules become info brokers—producing access tokens that can be traded on the marketplace.
Market Intelligence Modules
These are permanent, soulbound devices that grant the ability to produce access tokens:
| Module | Rarity | Operation Cost | Token Blueprint Granted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Market Scanner | Uncommon | 25 memory fragments/scan | Market Report Access Tokens (15/30/45 day) |
| Advanced Market Analyzer | Rare | 40 memory fragments/scan | Premium Market Report Access Tokens (30/45 day) |
When you craft a Market Intelligence Module, you receive a non-tradeable blueprint that lets you produce access tokens. The tokens themselves are tradeable—creating a sustainable info broker economy.
Market Report Access Tokens
Tokens grant temporary access to report data when activated:
| Token | Access Level | Duration | Tradeable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market Report Access Token (15 Day) | Basic | 15 days | Yes (before activation) |
| Market Report Access Token (30 Day) | Basic | 30 days | Yes (before activation) |
| Market Report Access Token (45 Day) | Basic | 45 days | Yes (before activation) |
| Premium Market Report Access Token (30 Day) | Premium | 30 days | Yes (before activation) |
| Premium Market Report Access Token (45 Day) | Premium | 45 days | Yes (before activation) |
How to get tokens:
- Craft a Market Intelligence Module and produce your own tokens
- Purchase from the marketplace from other operatives who produce them
- Trade with other players who have excess tokens
Once activated, tokens are consumed and access is bound to your account for the duration.
