Build a freighter and send it to an alien controlled world and you'll have a trade route set up. The further away it is the more money you make. It also improves your relationship with that civ.

So obviously it will take a long time befoe trade can be established because it takes a while to get to a freighter.

Alrighty, thanks a lot man.

Not necceserily, Im not sure what the core design freighter rquires but if you design your own you can send out a freighter as soon as you can built freighter modules.

Well if you aim for the trade tech, I think it's only 3 levels down in the diplomacy techs. Even with some attention elsewhere you should get it within the first year.

Yeah, its really quick and simple. One you get the Trade research then you can start building a freighter which takes a while, and depending on the target planet, the travel distance.

So to set up a trade route takes:
- Research time
- Freighter building time
- Freighter travelling time
