Trading

Trading is one of the ways to make money in Galaxy. It involves buying materials for cheap prices then selling them for more than the original price. Typically, this tactic is considered to be a step above mining, as it is less tedious and more profitable. However, to be able to trade, there must be enough mined material to sell. Most of the time, freighters are the ships used to trade.

Profits
See also Trading Guide/Profits

Different profits can be made for trading. Often, people will buy whichever material that have the largest cap between the buy and sell prices, however, if gaps are the same, people will try to get less massive/cheaper materials to maximize profit.

A good tip for any faction that wishes to trade, is to take Frion I as their own, or ally with whoever owns it. This will not only give them the strongest starbase on the server, but also give the faction access to cheaper materials, as Frion sells materials for reduced costs.
