Post subject:  Autotrades Enabled

We have enabled Autotrades in the game. The code is basically the exact same code from 0.21 but modified to support variable max tech levels.

You still cannot use autotrades inside SG Sectors. The auto trades will only work on planets in normal space. This is how Autotrades worked in 0.21. You can still buy a Cargo Ship for a planet in an SG Sector but you will not be able to use it.

We decided to get auto trades running in preparation for a release. We don't want anything disabled.

We are getting close. There are only a couple of major things that need to be taken care of before we release the game to the public.

If you notice anything odd please let us know.

Sorry PJ, you would think as long as I have played this awesome game I would know the correct terms for things but......well.....dang! I can't even blame it on being blonde *sigh*

anyway. How does the autotrade set up work? Maybe what I am thinking is an autotrade and what you are calling it is different. What I am thinking of is like in the old .21 game where there was a planetary cargo ship that you could purchase and set to selling your production while you were offline. Is this the sort of 'autotrade' you speak of? If so, I do not think I understand how to set it up. Purchasing a cargo ship for the planet in question would be necessary I realize LOL

No that's a traderoute. :)

And autotrade is where you buy a cargo ship for a planet and then you enter the sector name for a port for each of the items you want to trade from your planet. Then once every 30 minutes the planet will trade those items and bring back CREDITS.

It's totally automatic and runs even when you are offline. You can call up the autotrade list and it will display every cargoship, the hull and energy tech and how much money was gained and what was traded the last time a trade happened.

You can check your logs for more information about the autotrades. If someone blockades the port by dropping in fighters or mines this will be reported in your logs because you cannot trade at a port with enemy fighters or mines in the sector.

It's a way of gaining money without doing anything. We were wanting to have programmable autotrades with real cargoships roaming around for people to destroy but that will have to wait until after we make this release (coming real soon now).
