    Yes, I also would like to know the answer to that question.

    I thought it might say in the Harvester like Cargo from resources, but haven't seen it list anything.

    We realized the display wouldn't be right for the player at the last min, so we need to change the way it is calculated to display a correct result. We thought we would have been able to change it shortly after the servers went live, but due to obvious reasons we have had to put it as a lower priority. We are getting pretty close to having most of the issues ironed out and we'll be able to focus on some of the other server additions we wanted to get in.

    Currently the actual result earned is calculated when you reach your destination, we need to move that to when you are at the source planet.

    On a side note. You need to be in orbit of the other persons planet that you are trading with. When your harvester is in orbit you will see a trade icon. You will then set what world of yours you want to trade with. You can only have a 1:1 with any specific planet. So if you are trading from your homeworld to someone elses home world that connection can only exist once.

    I understand the lower priority, that's fine. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy not seeing it somewhere.

    So, trading is working right now, you just can't see what both parties are getting currently.

    Edit 2: reposting questions since Leedot was kind enough to respond.

    Assuming a trade between my homeworld and partner's homeworld:

    1. Can you set up another route from partner's homeworld to another of my planets?

    2. Can I set up trade with another of my partner's planets to my homeworld?

    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?
