Hi!
I've just discovered that somehow I can't trade strategic resources with other empires properly. The AI can give me their resources but I can't give my resources to them. Is this a bug or a feature? I was just trying to be smart and buying extra redundant resources so I could sell them to other empires for a higher price.

I'm fairly certain you can't trade away resources that you are buying from someone else - only resources that you produce within your territory.
Probably just because PDX coded up to that point and stopped, possibly because of a conscious effort to stop rascals like you from breaking the economy! ;)

Haha! I guess so.
I'd really like it if this was possible though. Real companies (and I'm pretty sure countries too) do this all the time and in a space environment it would make even more sense.

It isn't that much of a pain though, I bought that living metal for an instant transfer of 30 minerals. That may actually be a problem of its own now that I think about it.
