Do you ever transfer use trade power with people who aren't already or going to be allies?

There is a CB that is about telling someone to transfer trade power, but it's just hard for me to justify a diplo slot going to it with how overflowing money is and the value of a strong ally or vassal that the diplo slot could be used for.

Do you see any problem with how it takes up a diplo slot?

I do have weaker allies or anyone I plan to diplo-vassal transfer trade power to me for the +opinion. Which is weird in it's own way because it means basically if I threaten someone for their stuff they like me more and then when I basically own them they stop transferring it to me because vassal?

I just don't know if anyone uses it for person who isn't going to be an ally or as a war reparation.

Maybe some other players have a big use for it that I don't see.

Use trade conflict CB to annex them. Simple.

I usually sit well above the diprelation limit, so it's really hard to justify transfer. I used don't know, once? On hamburg released from Hansa. For german states it may be worth it to ally and ask for trade power from frankfurt, to get early cash.

Imagine if it didnt take up a diplo slot. Once you reached a certain size, or got an ally like France, you could just force everyone to transfer trade power to you leaving trade ideas underpowered and you super rich. It would be too easy.

Imagine if first 5 transfers didn't occupy the slot.

I use transfer trade power just as a relation boost for future subjects. That's pretty much the only use of it. Trade conflict CB's purpose is to get a CB on a nation you don't border.

Or if it somehow didn't take a slot for a certain numbers of years when taken in a war but I wondered if anyone saw it as good in it's current state.
