I’m asking the gracious space lions for handouts... The person who plays trade has the option to refresh commodities without making people spend a CC

A favor yet to be named? Hrm. That or a promissory note. I prefer promissory notes simply because they can't be taken back; thoughts? I'll trade in full as well (3:3).
PSN/Steam: mindflare77
None of the promissory notes are really worth only 1 TG...
Tell you what. Refresh my commodities and agree to trade with me, and I'll give you 3 commodities for 2 of yours, with no favor given.
OR If you prefer You can refresh my commodities and we can do the 3:3 trade with a suitable favor thrown in at a later time, which is non-binding but we are an honourable race of warriors, so you would be satisfied by whatever it is, probably for a value of far more than 1 TG.
Very well. The spice must flow! Refresh Sardakk commodities. Take all 3 in exchange for 2 of our own commodities. All is even between us.
Total update for the Hacan: +2tg from standard galactic deal (1 from 38thDoe, 1 from Lykouragh). +3tg from Sardakk trade. - 2 commodities from Sardakk trade. Total of 11 trade goods, 1 commodity, 0 action cards.
I think that's everyone? @Zombie Hero for play.
PSN/Steam: mindflare77
Move Carrier, 3 infantry, 1 fighter into zone from Nestphar Sector.
Land 1 infantry on each planet, claiming both Dal Bootha and Xxehan cards.
Exhaust Nestphar and pay one trade good to produce 1 carrier and 2 infantry for a total of four cost. The two infantry are on my new carrier. (from what i understand infantry don't count against fleet cap)
Down to two trade goods. Nestphar exhausted
If that was all legal then pass turn to @Lykouragh

(The exception is if you have fighter II then any beyond the capacity in the system do apply)
You wouldn't have gotten nearly as much from it, 3 Trade goods plus a fresh pile of almost useless commodities, and he still would have been able to do the same thing. The only way to keep Hacann from building a giant stack of TG's is to refuse to Trade with them. Also, avoid taking the Trade strategy card.

Gah, I just traded with the Hacan as part of his refreshing my commodities. I forgot that we talked about doing that swap- although I only would have had 2 goods to exchange with you for your 3 since I get less commodities overall than you do.
I'm still happy to give you my racial note for yours if you still want to do it though- if you no longer want to I understand.
T/F/S->2/3/2
Hacan would you like to trade your last commodity 1:1?
@38thDoe
Giving commodities and then having them returned as trade goods would be two transactions. So not instantaneous and not binding
Then, on another turn, he could give you back two trade goods. However, it would not be binding and would have to wait until his next action (or yours).

Confirmed. Let the trade routes flourish! One commodity for one commodity. Total of 12tg for Hacan.

No, you can and will came ahead in trade with them. They can afford it. You just have to ask more than you give them. They will accept or keep their enormous mass of useless commodities...

The only ability Hacan have, is gaining more TG. It's normal thay have more, it's their power and should compensate for the other players racial advantage.
Than it's up to the table to keep them onest with rasonable trades...
Ghosts 9
Plants 6
Insects 6
Sol 4
Fish 3
Hmm... We must study trade more closely.

We are but humble Spice merchants, peddling our wares throughout the galaxy. Connecting races, peacefully. Bringing about a new era of prosperity for those with whom we deal. What nefarious intentions are there?!
PSN/Steam: mindflare77
Deal!
We receive 3 commodities (which become TGs) and the Jol Nar racial promissory note in exchange for 2 TGs and our racial promissory note
...And then the peaceful space lions start building fully operational battle stations which resemble small moons...
We'd love to, but you're out of commodities for now and we need adjacency. It brings up the delicate question of who is getting the Arinam/Meer system....I'd be open to bribes to let you have it
If anybody is getting War Suns, it's Jol'nar. They originated that technology, after all. Tested it on the Sardakk N'orr is the lore, I believe.
