Trade good issues

from Stardock Forums

- Trade goods bought (or licenced as it says in the manual) from another species seems to have no effect. I purchased "Frictionless Clothing" from a minor race for a hefty sum, because I was having morale problems. After buying it, my morale didn't budge (which was around 50%). Shouldn't I see some kind of increase, at least for a while?

I also purchased ... what was the name of it... tri-neutronium steel or something. Neither of these items showed up in my planet lists of upgrades (like the trade goods I had invented) and I wasn't sure of the effect. Which brings me to my next point...

- Unless I have the option of building a trade good, I have no way of knowing its intended effect. The effect is ONLY listed when you select the trade good for the build queue. I should be able to find out a trade good's effect right from the diplomacy/trade screen. I bought that tri-whatever steel on a whim, but I still don't have a clue what it's supposed to do.

Doh. Are you serious about purchased trade goods having no effect? Crap >:(

I think that's Tri-strontium steel, and I believe the effect was it would improve the HP of your ships by about 10%

I agree there needs to be a break down on the stats screen that shows what bonuses are coming from what.

As for the multiple trade good thing...that was supposed to have been fixed, but they didnt fix it. GAs work the same way.
