'''Trading''' is a feature introduced in {{Episode|IV}} which allows the {{Title|Comms Officer}} to trade [[Inventory|objects]], [[resources]], [[NERON Projects]] and even [[Characters|crew members]] to passing alien transporter ships via the [[Communications|Comms Center]].

To partake in trading, the '''Shortwave Radio''' feature must be accessed on the [[Comms Center]]. While the entire crew may view the ''Shortwave Radio'' screen, only the {{Title|Comms Officer}} can perform the trades. The {{Item|Hacker Kit}} cannot be used to override this.

== Transporter ==
[[File:Transporter.PNG|left|Transporter]] To trade, an alien '''Transporter''' ship must be present outside the Daedalus, and space must be free of all hostile craft such as [[Hunters]]. Its arrival and departure are [[NERON Announcements|announced by NERON]] in the general chat tab.

''Transporters'' can be targeted and destroyed by [[Hunters#Fighting_the_Hunters|turrets and patrollers]], potentially leaving useful items in the wreckage.
<br>Confirmed drops include:

*{{Item|Blasters}}
*{{Item|Grenade}}
*{{Item|Bandage}}
*{{Item|Standard Ration}}
*{{Item|Lunchbox}}

Damaging the ''Transporter'' and refusing trade offers will prompt it to leave on the following cycle.

{{Warn|If no target has been specified, the actions '''Fire''' (Turret) and '''Fire on a Hunter''' (Patroller) may randomly target the ''Transporter''! Always select your targets before shooting to make sure you do not accidentally hit it.}}

[[File:Trade.JPG|thumb|right|The '''Shortwave Radio''' in action]]

When called via the ''Shortwave Radio'', the aliens will offer one or several '''randomized transactions''' which can only be ''accepted'' or ''declined''. Accepting or declining an offer costs '''2''' {{AP}}. If you accept an offer without having the goods ready, it is automatically declined.

In order to trade [[Inventory|items]] or [[characters]], they must be located in the ship's '''storage rooms'''. Other requested goods can include [[Resources]] and [[NERON Projects]].

If a character on the bridge is a {{skill|Diplomat}} (or {{skill|Polyvalent}}), there will be more trade options than usual, like exchanging higher amounts, a discount, or the option to pay with different goods. Other skills, reportedly {{skill|botanist}}, can unlock such options as well, depending on the subject.

==== Items and Resources ====

Any [[Inventory|items]] located in the ship's '''storage rooms''', as well as ship resources such as {{O2}} [[Resources#Oxygen|Oxygen]] and {{Fuel}} [[Resources#Fuel|Fuel]] may be traded.

As a side-effect, the "Objects present for exchange" list allows everyone on the bridge to see all items in the storage rooms.

{{Bug|Even [[Image:Hidden.png|class=margin-small|Icon]] '''Hidden''' objects are being listed and may be traded at will.}}

==== NERON Projects ====

You can trade one of your completed [[NERON Projects|projects]] for another project that has not been completed yet. The exchanged projects, both sold and bought, are random and cannot be chosen.

{{Note|It is possible to trade away [[Vending Machine#Gold Projects|Gold Projects]] from the [[Vending Machine]].}}

==== Characters ====

Trading permits the exchange of any {{Status|Inactive}} and {{Status|Highly Inactive}} crew members located in the ship's '''storage rooms'''. Reported [[Characters|character]] exchange goods include random [[NERON Projects]] and even a finished [[PILGRED Reactor]] (for an inactive {{Character|Raluca}}).

{{Bug|The in-game description states that inactive characters can be traded from the [[Ship_Equipment#Bridge|Bridge]], and highly inactive ones from anywhere. However, this is currently false; they must be in a storage room just like any other tradable object.}}

{{Note|To get characters in position for trading, characters with the {{Skill|Solid}} and {{Skill|Wrestler}} skills are very useful, as they may kick characters from room to room using their '''Kick them out !''' action (cost reduced to 1 {{AP}} for inactive targets). Level 3 characters with the ability to [[Actions#Guard|guard]] also help to direct their movement. }}

{{Note| Above mentioned note needs confirmation as some people have experienced that guarding doesn't work.}}
