Couldn't really track what effects my trade was actually having. I just started clicking trades and had no idea if they were &quot;good&quot; trades or not.

These structures can be upgraded to increase the rate at which they generate or disperse resources.\r\n\r\n--Thoughts--\r\nI had high hopes for this game, that ended up going no where. In my mind, the big goal to this game would be buying up planets. Every time you bought a planet, the \"Universe\" would expand a little, and you would be able to increase your rate of income. However, this never came to be.\r\n\r\nNext time, I think I'll stay away from GUI intensive games. They always take longer then I think they will.\r\n\r\nWeb version coming soon","title":"SpaceTrader"}
