Dockside

From YPPedia

Dockside is the term used to describe the general market of an island, visible from the trade commodities screen. All commodities being sold and bought are listed there. Dockside trading can be seen from within shoppe management or from a hold on a ship. The commodities market can also be used to see the buy and sell prices, but nothing may be purchased from that screen.

The alternative to 'buying dockside' is ordering directly from a shoppe or stall and waiting for the products to be made.

Dockside can also be used to refer to things happening on land in general, as opposed to on boats. In blockades, it is occassionally used to refer to the side of the board closest to an island, where defending boats enter upon deporting. This side of the blockade board is also called 'islandside,' as opposed to 'oceanside.'
