    Shadowkai - Yes to both questions. You just can't have multiple ships running the same route.

    Small Harvester / Harvester Range

    Another question related to trade routes: Are the ranges for Harvesters firm limits? The blurb accompanying them is wishy washy, it says they are ideally meant for travelling six squares. Does that mean it is a hard limit or you can set up a greater distance trade route with Harvesters at diminished efficiency?

    Also: Do small harvesters have a range? Thus far I can't get them working outside of a single sector... can they do inter-sector u-hauling?

    Smith, the mini-harvesters can definitely do outer sector mining. I have approximately 11 harvesters mining on 3 different planets, 4 sectors away from my home world.

    I think what they mean by "ideally situated for 6 sectors or less distance" is that the rate of return would be lower, as you would get less ore per hour if it was over 6 sectors away. That's why I have 4 harvesters on each planet 4 sectors away. That way I'm getting 1Ku CO every round trip the 4 harvesters make. And I'm slowly reducing the planet's stockpile of Ore, so I know I'm taking more per hour than it can replenish. So I'm ahead of the curve there and not easing my unit slots on gaining nothing. I'll start dialing back the number of harvesters per planet when I. Get closer and closer to 0u of CO

    Hey, thanks for clarifying this for me. Don't know why I was having problems setting up the inter-sector routes before... Cheers!

    No problem! Good luck.

    So, my trade routes don't seem to be working either. It looks like the whole spectrum of people is set to 'peace' to start, not embargo. Is it possible that people are set to embargo on the server, but it is displaying as peace?
