I have a trade question Please

July 9, 2003 5:34 PM from

When a trade route is established is there a ship that you can actually see on the map or is it done behind the scenes? I ask becuase I have spent espionage points on an empire and I know where their trade routes are. I read in the manual that you can disrupt their economy if you can stop or hinder their trade route. I am a little confused on what you are supposed to do. Do you look for the ships and attack them, or just put ships along the route? Thanks.

An established trade route is represented by a tiny
ship travelling between the connected systems. If you persist in destroying those ships, the trade route will eventually be lost to your enemy. Putting a couple of combat ships on auto-attack should work well.

The enemy can also do this to you, so watch out.

The enemy can have your wife force you to clean? That's...most vile and evil
