I believe the current trading system is very primitive, it must evolve. I suggest that area 13 be a like a storefront. Instead of player staying there forever trying to buy/sell stuff thus taking away from precious play time I recommend a storefront.
A player would post whatever he sells under well specified categories German/Hvy Gunner/lvl53 so it'd be easier for potential buyers to find what they are looking for. Considering that we get penalized on selling ships, this would give us another option out. So the buyer would be able to browse products and contact the seller thus GREATLY increase in-game community and add depth to the game. Also, we can add an "Auction" feature where those high stat neuts can be bid on. There is SOOO much room for improvement , it's immense. Everyone please post your ideas. Thanks
