Auto Trader can not auto trade due to skills

[Tanvaras]

Ok, so have a ton of credits... So decide to waste a few hundred million and buy 100 Transport ships, not a single one got a 3 Star overall skill rating to be able to auto trade....... Your got to be kidding me that this can happen?? Bought them all at High End option to hopefully score decent pilots and all of them are 2 Star of less, What gives on Trade-ship Captains??

My Cerberus fleets (I have 24 Cerberus's) and all are 3 - 4 star overall rating on build.........

I think the skill system needs to be looked at, even allowed to use most options and the NPC's gain higher ranks as they do the job, cause at this time I reloaded to an older save and can not be bothered raising a big trade fleet if they can even auto trade, cause I sure not manually assigning 100+ trade ships every five minutes.

You don't need 3 stars. Select ship, right click on map. Click "autotrade" or "autotrade (galaxy)" and away they go regardless of stars.

I don't haven an aption for (galaxy), as well as my auto trader (4 stars) only makes runs buying 20 quantum somethings for 8000 credits and sells them for 9000 credits. When I do it manually I get trades for up to 200.000 credits. Auto trader is still completely useless and broken.
