Manage Trade Routes?

[Muyotomi]

Hello everyone,

is there a way to manage a Trade Route?

I have following Problem: There is a Trade Route through Ether Drake. I could go arround, but i dont know how to manage this.

As you can see, because of Ishnor i lose 16 Trade Value, which has not to be, if i could change the route to the left side (Churassix->Ebucrosle->Jhurope)

Is it even possible to re-route like that?

Greetings

go to the drake system and forbid it - button on bottom nameplate on the left.

I would like to know that as well. Can you reroute them?

If you open the system view, at the bottom of the screen, where you see a nameplate with the system name, there is a button at the left of the nameplate. It looks like a fleet icon with a red "no symbol" on it. That is the forbid system. Toggling it on will tell all of your ships to avoid this system for any route tracing.

As others are saying. THANK YOU. Today I've learned you can forbid systems from trade routes and you can set multiple patrol waypoints. Seems things like this should be very well advertised.

Does this forbid your fleet from moving through this system like a bunch of Muppets?

Yes.

If you have a starbase selected in trade route mode you can also right click on other starbase to route to that starbase. You can't route in nonstarbase systems though.

You cannot forbid transit through a system you own. This makes sense of course. There are times I've wanted to do this to simplify patrol routes. Rerouting by choosing a different starbase(s) sometimes works.

Yeah, it would be nice to be able to control trade routes internally a little more. But at least SHIFT+Patrol works (mostly, sometimes they seem to forget a branch off). Also parking a single corvette in a system is enough to make a trade route take different forks if the distance to destination is still similar.

Where do I find that screen? I have so far not bothered much with trade, I guess it is time I learn about it.

The trade route view? It's in the bottom right, two arrows facing away from each other, just above the hyperlanes map mode button.
