Those are the resources carried by the Ferengi traders when they docked at trade stations in stock A2.

Hopefully, they will have some use in the future...

Re-establishing trading in general would make an interesting feature. The devs have proven they can make things race-specific in many ways, so who knows if there's a way to get individual trading bonuses for each race?

Easily done in stock, copy the trading station general odf (Trading.odf I think it is called) and make a race specific one for each races station.

How could I dare to forget?
I meant something more innovative, since odf-programming has surprised me over and over again with quite simple things (to use odf-replacing as a technique to make ships "leveling up" is one of the best examples I can think of).

An example (that will never appear in FO to make clear it's just a showcase):
If the Ferengi would be a major faction (and also playable) they probably would get some simple technologies by trading and get upgrades for these (let's say, two or three special weapons/special systems or speed improvements or something similar) over longer amounts of time.

It hasn't got to be technologies but something making specific units more flexible would be interesting. Adding or replacing passive abilities on players choice for example.

Edit: The replacing or adding of single passive abilities would suit the romulans very much, due to the fact they are the ship refitting masters anyway
