Sector Trader won't work
Hi,
I trained an ST until Level 6 and then reseated him into a new and faster ship. Now he doesn't work.
It shows the message "Looking for trades..." without circling through wares. And then stops and says "on standby". Even after ten minutes. Even if there are verifiable good trades in the sectors I assigned him to.
Note: I translated the messages from German, I'm not sure of the correct English wording.

I suggest selling the ecells and trying to start him again. I'm not sure about sector traders but sometimes with CLS and CAG if they have cargo when you give them their initial command they ignore the cargo they already have and just trade with the free space in their cargo bay.
It could be just a simple case of he can't find any good trades at this time. What sector do you have him in?

Baldric has 4.500 cargo units; only 425 are filled at the moment. I can try with removing the e-cells.
I restarted the trade several times with different sectors (mostly some with 3 or 4 adjacent sectors) Last try was Barren Shores where the ore mines are filled and the weapons factories need ore.

yeah weird, that should work. If those weapons fabs need ecells , priests refuge is just one jump away and there's loads of SPPs there.
I'm sorry I don't know what to do other than moving him to another sector and trying again. If you do move him, Empire's Edge, a few sectors to the north is great place to train a sector/universe trader up.

Grin! E.E. is the sector I leveled him up, and his successor is now working. I think I'll wait some time...ConorC wrote:yeah weird, that should work. If those weapons fabs need ecells , priests refuge is just one jump away and there's loads of SPPs there.
