I have purchased a merchant trader ship.
What use is this to me?

its a legacy, I believe. if you have a colonized world in a system without a trade gate it should still allow you to load goods from a world and exchange them for credits.

thanks, so it sounds like I may have wasted some credits here.
damn...

How did you do that?

Oh, I see. It's on the design list.

Yes you have a really useless design on now. I'll add a bug report.

You should take it to the gravwell of your homeworld and scrap it to get the credits back.

Easier said than done when I have the Shaman hunting my ship.
I am running on silent and racing for my homeworld.

Don't drop a spanner boys......

Where are you, come out, we can have a first contact thing. It is valentines day. I probably won't slaughter your captain and sell your crew into slavery....
