The way I see it? Trading is entirely neccesary to a game that's intended to support thousands upon thousands of players. If anyone pretends that the majority of the community base isn't here for the rest of the community, and not blowing up ships
(though that be a wonderous act, filled with delight and fuzzyness without measure) then they're just trying to get attention.
A trading function is neccesary, not just a fun addition in my not so humble opinion to a game such as this

...one that I think would improve the gameplay greatly. In fact, so much so that I intend on parenting a poll in the
Polls and Surveys Thread soon once I can confirm that there is in fact, no trade function. Something of which I really do have a hard time believing
If nothing else it's nice to see I have at least a few allies, and if I can gain enough support, I'll petition the game developers to impliment at least a basic trading function, for obvious reasons.
