How do you create a Trade Station?

[Snowfious]

I know this may seem like a lame question, but the answer I can't find anywhere.

You know on the map such as the Taladi and others where they have the trade station Logo for the icon. How can I create a station to have the same thing?

Don't think you can.

I didn't try it myself yet but this is how it should work:

edit: there is no explicit trading station or trading module, like I would expect in trading simulation game :D

I do see one odd module on each trading station, that must be the trading module. Gonna check next time I play to confirm.

Would be neat if they made it in their next update for players; I know I would set it up near major lanes as a destination of sorts for my outlying factories and refineries.

Edit; They look like large docks with an extra structure

You can kinda do it.

Build lots of storage and docks (no production modules). Assign at least 20 traders to it and give the station at least 3 star manager (for bigger trade range).

Now load the station with each type of ware that exist in game (well maybe not illegall stuff) and set them to buy as cheap as possible. Then set sell ware at max price.

It also works as a backup storage when you need some materials for station building.

But for this to work, you need to have as many stations shown on map as possible.

Been trying this with ore / silicon / nividium in Profit Center Alpha.

It looks like the miners I assigned to it became auto miners; even though their pilot ratings were lower than the default behaviour.

The manager is a low level right now so the trade range is limited. I added energy cells and a transport to hopefully level the manager up a bit. I might have to swap the manger out if it is slow.

This wont work unless you sell the ores manually.
Traders can't load ores, only miners can and they only sell them automaticly, but never load them except from mining itself
