The marketplace offers a way to trade resources in-game and without direct interaction with other players.

It can be accessed via the „Marketplace“ link in the main menu.

Offers cannot be withdrawn before expiration.

Accepted offers likewise cannot be canceled.

The identities of the trading partners are only revealed to each other once the trade is made.

To block offers from a specific player, open their playercard and select „Handel blockieren“ („block trade”).

WARNING: It may sometimes be possible to determine player identities and attack fully-loaded merchant fleets.

Red (Seller):

1. Seller places an offer by sending their cargo ships to the marketplace (position 17).
2. If the offer is accepted before expiration, the fleet automatically flies to the marketplace of the buyer.
3. After delivery, the fleet holds and waits until it is recalled (via the Fleet page or the Return button in the arrival message) or until the offer's time has expired.
4. The fleet returns.

Blue (Buyer):

1. Buyer accepts trade and sends a fleet carrying payment to their own marketplace (position 17).
2. Fleet automatically flies to the seller's marketplace.
3. After delivery, the fleet holds and waits until it is recalled (via the Fleet page or the Return button in the arrival message) or until the offer's time has expired.
4. The fleet returns.

After the trade is complete, this in-game message is delivered. If the merchant fleet is not recalled within 6 hours of delivery, the fleet will return automatically.

To create an offer, a fleet carrying resources must be sent to position 17 of any system.

The fleet mission page prompts the player for offered resources, price, and offer duration.

WARNING: Once an offer is placed, it cannot be canceled prematurely!

On every valid offer, there is an “Buy now!” button which will automatically launch a cargo fleet from the current planet, provided there are sufficient resources to pay for the offer.

WARNING: Once an offer is accepted, the trade cannot be canceled!

Offers labelled “too weak” cannot be accepted due to the push rule (i.e. the higher ranked player would gain too much from the trade).

The fair market exchange rates are calculated dynamically by averaging the past week's completed trades.

The „Total“ value of an offer is computed by converting the entire offer to units of deuterium at the current market exchange rate.
