confused about trade

We would have a better jumping-off point if we could at least observe the contents of the freighter while en route.

Under the ships menu > AI ships if you select a ship that has cargo it should be displayed first thing in the info box. Not sure if that's what you're looking for.

Question though: If someone shows up and wants to start a trade will it send you a conformation for said trade? Or can they just start trading and I not even realize it?

Doesn't tell me how much ore the ship is carrying, which is a vital piece of information for assessing the efficiency of the route.
