trade ships going to team mares ports

from Sins Forums
when playing on a team, do you get an advantage for your trade ships trading with their planets? does the trade chain of planets expand to include their planets to form an unbroken chain?

Don't think so.

I havent tried teams yet, but in theory, yes.

When you are allies with another game entity, if you are playing TEC, then your ships start trading with them. I noticed with TEC that you dont need contiguous trading ports, if theres a gap, the ships just keep going until they find one. So in theory, a team should be the same. Although I guess all the planets between the teams need to be discovered first. But I am just guessing.

Don't know what I was reading before, but it makes a lot more sense now.

Yeah, you get a trade bonus as long as you have trade ports and a trade treaty with somebody.

Also, the longest trade port chain doesn't extend to allied worlds.
