Trade Route

An empire's market is comprised of the production from all the areas it controls on a world.
Every trade route needs a spaceport. It is used in three ways:
- Export: Trade goods can only be moved to another market by exporting them. The spaceport must be within jump distance to the receiving market. Payment price and amount is determined by the game.
