Trocar
Não interessa se confias na tua própria produção das minas ou se no que consegues tirar dos outros jogadores, por nunca será suficiente para o que precisas para um edifício ou pesquisa. Aqui vem a possibilidade de trocares os teus recursos, por exemplo para compensar a tua falta de metal pelo teu excesso de deutério. Podes fazer isso trocando com outros jogadores ou usando o mercador.
A Troca Clássica
Ao realizar uma troca com outros jogadores, ambos os parceiros de troca enviam uma quantidade pré-determinada de recursos para o outros jogador. Devido a isso, não somente a quantidade de recursos mas também as coordenadas para onde devem ser enviados devem ser combinados. Combinar a hora de entrega também é aconselhável, para que a frota de entrega não chegue a meio da noite e os recursos fiquem em terra demasiadas horas sem protecção
Basicamente a troca deve cumprir com determinadas regras. Recursos devem ser trocados num determinado rácio, de maneira que ninguém fique a lucrar excessivamente ( na qual somente as que beneficiam os jogadores mais fortes terão consequências ). Normalmente o rácio de metal, cristal e deutério é entre 3:2:1 ( por exemplo: 300 de metal por 100 de deutério ) e 2:1:1 ( por exemplo: 100 de deutério por 100 de cristal). A troca deve ser finalizadas num período de 48 horas; senão deve-se informar o Operador de Jogo (GO) acerca do atraso da troca usando Ticket system. Caso contrário, ambos os jogadores envolvidos na troca serão banidos por Pushing, se a regra não forem cumpridas, ou seja, se o jogador mais forte sair beneficiado numa troca com um jogador mais fraco.
Where do I find trading partners?
Asking your own alliance or friendly players is the best and most secure method. They often give you a better rate than foreign players and the danger of being cheated decreases, because basically it is not forbidden to cheat the trade partner.
If you are not a member of an alliance or if there is nobody who has the resource you are looking for on sale, the board will be a good place to trade. In the forum Game - The Universes and there in the sub-forum of your universe, in the trade forum, you can open a new thread and present your offer. There you should specify the amount and type of the wanted and demanded resources, as well as the ratio and the galaxy, in which the trade shall take place. Potential buyers will contact you in the thread or ingame, if you give out your contact information. You can also respond to the offers of other users, but please check if they aren't already done and the thread starter has asked for a closing of the thread. Please also note the trade rules, they are stickied deliberately and they should be regarded again.
The last alternative is the IRC-network. In the channel of your universe you will find some active players for sure, who you can ask for a trade. You should however not be too pushy and end up annoying the others – if you bother other users, superior fleets will call on you fast, instead of trading partners. If you are permanently looking for resources, for example deuterium, you will be able to integrate it in your nick on IRC or also in the game (e.g. Alex[Deut]), and hope for potential buyers. See the complete guide to IRC.
How do I use the merchant?
If there is no human trade partner or if nobody has the wanted resource on sale, you will be able to use the merchant, who you will find in the main menu under “merchant”. There you can call a merchant, who trades with a certain resource, by clicking on the according button. Calling the merchant costs 3.500 DM, which will be specified in the chapter Recursos Pagos. You can also find merchants on Expedições, however those only buy a certain resource, which is possibly not the one you want to dispose of at that moment. If you find a merchant while another merchant is already active, the located merchant will buy the same resource as the present one, only the ratio will change.
If you have decided to use the merchant, the window on which you can trade the resources, will appear. There you can see the ratio for the first time, this is assigned coincidentally, but it is mostly under 3:2:1. If you are not pleased with this ratio, you will be able to call a new merchant; doing that will make the old one disappear – you spend another 3.500 DM. If you are pleased with this ratio, the trade can begin. Because the merchant will stay until you either use it or call a new one, you can take your time.

For example, if you call a merchant, who buys deuterium, you will be able to specify the amount of metal and crystal you want to buy. You can ask for as much resources as the worth of your deuterium and as the according storage can take. Definitely it will be profitable to upgrade the storages before trading, because every trade event costs the same, regardless of the amount. Because of that, a trade should be done on a planet, because there large storages make sense compared to a moon.
After you have entered all amounts, you only have to click on the button “Trade resources!” to confirm the trading event. After that, you get the designated resources, and the trader will receive the exchanged resources and disappear.
