Trade question from a new player

[Coldeathfin]

Hi all

I am playing a game now and i have 5 worlds (each in a diffrent system) that
each have there own civ station.
Now here come my quesiton.
I have made around 15 or so trade ship. Do they do there own thing and find a good place to
go or do i need to build a ship yard at each system to make ships ? As i can only see
one of the triangels being filled.

Thanks all

Trade works like this:
- Planet A: You build a trade station and upgrade it, the more docks you build the more trade routes (goods) you can use. But beware, the number of docks needed is one for each good available on the planet. So no point on over building docks all the sudden because you cant use them.

Each small freighter takes a dock slot and a good slot, the large versions take the double slots therefore generating the double of the income.

Now, you set the Trade/Building Slider over to the side of trade, when you do this you see the "Goods" circles filling up - you need one Good circle filled for each dock occupied.

The main difference from Sots PRime is that here you cant move the freighters. So if you want freighters on Planet B you have to build them there.

More.. to export you need to have a civ/trade station and its on these planets that you build freighters. Planets without civ stations only import and dont use freighters.

Here, check this http://sotsii.wikia.com/wiki/Trade, its a guide I made, it has more info about the bonuses that you can recieve.
