One big issue I've noticed with it is that some items you'd think were of massive tradable value, actually have very low values.
Entire planets is one such thing. I've had CPU opponents refuse to trade me techs such as "Enhanced Miniturization" for even several entire planets. Also planets do not even appear on the opponent's trading items. You cannot buy planets at all. So, that event with minor races, the one that goes "our spies working closely with the <xxxxxxx> has stolen all of the technologies from <yyyyyy>, and are willing to trade. The <xxxxxx> are particularly interested in obtaining star systems from us". I offer them such and they won't even give out "Beam Defense Theory" for 'em!
Broken!
Ship trading seems busted, they usually refuse outright..... but if they do show willing, it's ridiculous prices, ie they'll only buy a Dreadnought off you for 2bc, but demand 20000bc when selling you a scout!
Proper ship trading is something I would really like to see in the game!
As for starbases. Trading in these just DOES NOT HAPPEN under ANY circumstances - even though they do appear on the trade item lists as if they can be traded.
I've had some races buy say for example, "Lasers I" of me for 2000bc, when another won't barely give me 20bc it!
The whole thing seems rather broken, and if I remember right, GalCiv 1 was the same, so this issue has persisted for a good dozen years. Rounds of applause for Stardick y'all! Whoops! I made a Fruedian slip!
