Tradepost

The TradePost provides a REALISTIC supply and demand based economic system for the game. EXCHANGE nearly 100 goods and components with other players and aliens. BUYING, processing, and finally selling goods back at the tradepost is one route to becoming a POWERFUL and wealthy industrial magnate. Automated FREIGHTER fleets handle the burden of moving MINERALS and components throughout your colonies.



In REAL-TIME fleet combat you can control each of your ships in one of the three ways: MANUAL (direct the ship with the keyboard), COMMAND (issue commands like Attack, Defend, Flee, Hold... to the ship) and AUTO (let the AI control the ship)
