How to create trade routes?

[Donna]

I'm trying to find some good, simple info on how to create trade routes. I see a lot of people discussing them, but not much talk on what to actually do to set them up. I checked the walkthroughs/guides, but they all just mention what they do, not how to create one. Can anyone explain to me what I need to do? Thanks. <3

Basic run down, high tech and maybe advanced trade modules allow you to see trade routes either in current or multiple sectors.

To be honest, I haven't found trade routes particular useful. Instead I use them at a quick glance, and pay attention to the trade good wiki and the buy from/sell to stations from the trade modules which let me piece together fairly quickly very lucrative trade routes that the module would otherwise miss.

One thing I don't see discussed ever is that the buy/sell functions can be sorted by clicking the top categories.

@Synthia, If you are talking about the trade routes from owning an asteroid, and creating a mine, those trade routes automatically set themselves up with neighboring friendly factions, based on what you are producing, and what they need. One thing to do is get a lot of mines/factories running in a particular sector, so you are providing a lot of what the other factions need. You can then take the items your 'business' is collecting and sell them for extra profit.

For me the question sounds like "automated" trade routes... such stuff does not (yet) exist.
