Bartering

I'm sure by now members are able to build cargo ships, so I'd like to suggest a barter system. Members may trade their resources and/or parts with each other through the use of their cargo ships; this way all members may get rid of their excess unwanted resources and at the same time obtain resources which is short in supply. All items to be bartered will follow imperial prices; for example current imperial prices for wood and metal is 400S per unit. Therefore the barter of metal for wood or vice versa would be 1 : 1.

Good idea. This way we avoid the negative money thing. Quick question, can you transport parts also?

@Draster, you just send your cargo ships full of wood to the city of the person you are bartering with. And they send you a chip full of metal or w/e resource you wanted. Only downfall is that the other person might not send you anything. So don't barter with people outside of the alliance, or people you don't trust.

oh.. that kind of banter system. without the cash... lol
Ok, i understand that idea now.

Yes I think the parts can be transported in the cargo ship. but how much is the rate of exchange for each parts will be confusing.

However, most resources can be bought at empire price, or cheaper than the food cost to transfer cargos. only some expensive parts would be valuable to trade like this way

True; but we're talking about using bartering as a method of not spending Gold or Silver. This way it does not affect the nett profit which is important for commercial players. Further more I've checked with the admin team from freesky; we can barter goods apparently by using the assists function much like the miracle assists.

I would guess the catch being the half day to transfer maybe? Has anyone actually tried this yet? If it works maybe some of the non 20+ days can just dump supplies on someone nearby to send to the miracles.
