Trading In FO?

i have another idea, about a flagship, that a flagship would have the trading abilities, and if you wanted to trade, 2 flagships would have 2 meet, it's simplier than convoys, but convoy idea is preety sweet 2

not to keen on this to be honest

also hey 4 of 11 long time no see.

Lol 2 flagships? Thats not very realistic.

it's soooo realistic, flagships are like your command post, so you have to like negotiate for trade rights, and if your flagship is destroyed, every ships could have an option (in that chair icon) 2 make any ship your flagship, and if a ship is selected as your flagship, it would become something like 1 time stronger

A flagship is just the latest most powerful ship of each race lol, their not ment to trade. Where did you get that idea from?

nop, bad idea,
what we really should do is make a new station in each race, called trading station, and it could tranfer resources from freighters of your allies

I always thought it a bit silly that in AII the ferengi scavengers and cargo ships could just waltz past non-trading races like the Borg or 8472 (You had to manually attack them). Maybe post V3 it could be made so the Borg and other non-traders (like the Noxter) see the firengi as a threat, and so attack or assimilate ferengi ships that come near (You ccould dissasemble the cargo ships, and assimilated maruaders would make good cannon fodder ).
