I wanted a place which gives me enough opportunities but without too much competition. I chose this planet and started my activities here. I was the first to to set up railways between all the important places which is now a source of reliable profit. But of course the [i]real[/i] profit is in space trade. (as the title suggests) So the next step is entering the space business. This was unfortunately slowed down by the political difficulties I'm experiencing. Instead of using the existing infrastructure it made more sense to build my own space station. This is something I didnt't expect I would have to do in this stage of the game. But as it turned out it was a very good decision. The lucky situation with the AI player (or is "AI" just a name?) allows me to focus on my next step (which is setting up a decent network of secret bases (where "decent" is short for "decentralised", of course)) sooner than expected but I still want to build space vehicles and put them to use. I don't know how long this lucky situation will last and how reliable it is. And I have to become a recognisable and trusted brand in this part of space anyway. I'm still curious what's going on with this wood here.[/ni]
