Trade & contracts
Friendly traders offer barter, credit purchases, buyback and delivery contracts. Stock is finite and shared by the crew; it rotates every two home-world game days. Reloading or time spent outside the game does not refill it. Advanced goods still require research and expedition milestones.
These are stock pools, not a promise that every item is available at once. Research, expedition progress and reputation affect the offer.
