--I prefer the suggestions to allocate a channel, for the moment. And if people want to start another thread around that concept, I'll support it, and we can make it a default-subscribed channel for newbies.--

How about dedicating a channel, say 101 (or whatever is not currently used and well known) to sales and to be auto activated for new players. Also a little say about it in the beginning tutorials while new players are docked to training sectors will help aswell.

+1000. Get them off 100 and have it be dedicated!

101 is the Russian/Dutch/Swedish/idk which language channel

Channel 75 is what I use for Auctions

It just needs to be announced by the devs and auto subscribed to everybody. That way, sellers could post much more frequently, because people who don't want to hear it could /leave.

Anyone can use a channel and adopt it to some use. So pick a number for the sales channel.

Here's a list of the channels currently kinda assigned:

Having a "official" sales channel .. don't really care one way or the other.

I strenuously object.

well, that explains why 70 was always empty.

123567 can be reassigned
