Just wondering what the current state of affairs is for the trade and economy side of the game....  Obviously it's still early days yet and is looking great, and I haven't read through all the available forums to check if this question has been asked already, but was curious as to what to expect?

Is it going to be an option to build massive trading fleets with numerous products to sell off or maybe similar to 'Pirates' where there were a handful of goods to trade...

Please forgive me if this has been listed somewhere and I just haven't seen it....  Things getting a bit heated on the Steam forums with games like 'Starforge' and 'Stardrive' where people are making ignorant comments and causing all kinds of ***.

Hi NZK,

it is not yet revealed how trading will be realized exactly. The current implementation is very rudimentary, the development was focused on combat until now.
But it's safe to say that you will be able to operate big trade fleets.  You will probably ferry a multitude of goods through the sector, open your own outpost for trade or mining and have to protect all that from envious competitors or pirates.
The economy dynamics will likely be based on supply and demand, and will be tightly woven with the overall civilization status of a solar system (you might be able to bring a system to its knees with embargos, blockades etc. or safe it by breaking  those).

What Gothars said was what we hope and Alex has said that he hopes for, technically the official word on this is...

I for one hope all that has been expressed as a goal comes to pass but no promises on the exact details just yet
