So you make a Trader , He does his allocated amount of trade.

After that he takes Up Space.

What else are they good for after they trade?

Traders can:

-Open up new trade routes (which makes the trade avaliable at the port/marketplace). This consumes the traders used for it.

-Enact the trades between the port and your export office

-Run money over to bribe neutral sectors to take them over (not cost efficient at all)

-If any quest requires an amount of a certain resource, traders are the ones who run it over.

-Party like its 1999

Thank you for the Info

However I still have one question about them.

-Enact the trades between the port and your export office

yes, they can be used again. All they do is run your resource over to the port/marketplace, the run back with the resource you traded for. Keep in mind that while they are en route for a trade, they wont show up in your trader count at the top of the global trade screen (the one that you send expeditions for outposts with).

Ahh so they are a lot more useful then I thought they where.

So when they said a hawker carries one They meant one "Shipment" per trip. I first thought it meant they can only be used once and that's it
