How do I limit my station to which it only allow my own ships to dock and trade?

[shawhu]

This has been bothering me for quite a long time.

Let's say I have a station that buys and sells ore.
now, I assigned a miner acting like a trader to the station.
I manually set the selling price to be 1 credit higher than the purchasing price so my trader will find potential trade routes. But...how do I set a limit so that only MY trader can dock and make the trade? I don't want traders from other faction to enjoy the low price, which is only 1 credit higher...

I've tried to set the Trade Rule of the Sell Offer of Ore, but then...my own trader can't find route after that....? why?
And ultimately, I only want to know that what is the proper way to manually setup a station so only my miner will mine and only my trader will trade?

the core problem is, trading rules for a station will not only limit how ships interact with said station but how this station trade with any other stations.

Make traderestrictions for all factions, accept the players company and activate it in station for the ore.

Sorry für that kurze answer, aber this here ist the deutsche Forum.

You should set your station to sell ore for how you mention but to only sell to your faction only. Have the miner set to the default behaviour "Auto Trade" with whatever wares you want them to sell; miner should not have any restrictions to trade rules.

Your solids/liquid trader (i.e. the miner behaving as a trader) will buy from your station (if it is the cheapest) and sell to whoever. The only thing that can happen is your trader starts to sell/buy at your station as a stuck loop ... So just watch for this.

You cannot have a station's trade rules to allow trading with other factions but not allowing them to dock.

Note that no AI faction has miners set as traders. They are all set as AutoMiners or assigned to stations... So you'll never have a case where an NPC miner wants to come dock and buy solids/liquids from your stations.
