Trade questions

Does trade only depend on the distance and population?

Does adding a second trade module onto your ship make any difference?

If I build my trade ship on planet A, take it to planet B (one of my planets), then take to to C (A AI's planet). Will the trade rout be between A-C, or B-C?

If I add more engines to my trade ship, will it travel faster when the rout is set up, and bring in more money?

Thanks in advanced,

Yes.And in DA trade routes get more lucrative over time.Building economic bases with modules on trade routes boosts trade.

No.

No.Only A to B.

Not sure.Your initial freighter gains speed benefits,but I'm not sure the ones in the trade lanes do.

Thanks for the info, just to cheack,

Can you have trade routes to your own planets?

And if so do they bring in money?

Do economic centers/econermy capital... have no efect on trade?

Sorry about this, but my first cempain is going to be a massive trade based civilisation.

In regard to the multi planet question, the answer should be A-C, since B is your planet. In fact if you space mine with your original miner and go to 30 different planets then upgrade it to a freighter and go to a AI world, it will set up that trade route to your homeworld, since thats where the original miner was from. You cant have trade routes to your own planet as far as I know. Only starbases have effect on trade routes, not banks or econ capitals. Well, Galactic Privateer and Galactic Bazaar also have effects on routes I guess.
