====== Trade Window ======
When a station or factory is selected and you are using the [C]ommunication key or the corresponding button on the top left menu this is the window you will get. If you are not the owner of the station, you need to be nearby for the menu to show up, otherwise you'll receive a message telling that you are too far away.
===== Station Info =====
===== Buy / Sell =====
===== Shipyard =====
This is, of course, only available in shipyards (and pirate bases). This is where you can buy new ships.
At the top, you can select what kind of ship you want, the list of available ship types varies from faction to faction. When selecting a ship, you will see its stats in the upper right panel. And the two panels in the middle are showing the slots you can fill.
The 2 bottom panels under those are displaying the compatible weapons and shields. To install one of those components you can drag and drop it to another slot, or you can simply double click it to install it to the first available slot. The bottom left panel shows the stats of the currently selected weapon or shield.
To remove a component you do not want, double click it or drag and drop it back to one of the lists.
When you're satisfied with the load-out you've selected, you can save it by entering a name (2 to 64 characters) under Equipment Presets and pressing the Save button. This will save what you have selected so you can use it again later. Loadouts are saved on disk and can be used across multiple game sessions.
And finally at the bottom, select the quantity of ship you want and the price will adjust automatically, then, all you have to do is to press the Buy button :)
