I got a quick question.

In the help file, you say that having more negotiation than the prince leads to a faster exchange rate. How do we know the negotiation of the prince?

Also, the Economy rating of a planet reflects its ability to produce trade goods and materials, so would that necessarily mean better prices?

I know that ST trade is way more complex than AoP trade, and that's one of the reasons its always been hard for me to get a read on it.

Negotiation of the Price is determined by the Palace Rating. High rating Palaces have stricter controls, more employees and extra paperwork. It slowly scales up with Game Difficulty as well, because as time passes new rules and regulations are passed making trade harder and harder.

The Economy rating of a planet will drive larger quantities of available trade goods and prices that are more divergent from the Quadrant average (base price.) Goods sold will generally be cheaper, and goods purchased generally for a higher price.

Yay, my observation was correct! I'm on the right track.
