Visibility

Visibility

Visibility Skill at acquiring products remotely. Each level of skill increases the range your remote buy orders are effective to from their origin station. Level 1 allows for the placing of remote buy orders with a range limited to the same solar system, Level 2 extends that range to systems within 5 jumps, and each subsequent level then doubles it. Level 5 allows for a full regional range.

Note: Only remotely placed buy orders (using Procurement) require this skill to alter the range. Any range can be set on a local buy order with no skill.

Buy orders have a 'range'. If the range is 'station', only people at the station where the buy order is located can sell to that buy order. If the range is larger, say 5 jumps, anyone within 5 jumps of the station with the buy order can sell to it.

If you set a normal buy order (not a remote one) you can set whatever range you like (up to regional). If you have trained the skill Procurement you can place remote buy orders, but unlike normal buy orders, these always have the range 'station'.

Visibility allows you the set the range of a remote buy order, so instead of the default 'station' the range can be set to 'system' (Visibility level 1), '5 jumps' (level 2), '10 jumps' (level 3), '20 jumps' (level 4) or 'regional' (level 5). Generally it not worth training to level 5 as 20 jumps will cover most, if not all, of any region.
