Enact a subrule to “Spaceships” entitled “Space Stations”:
While a Captain’s class is “Space Station”, a Captain may, at any time, make a story post entitled “Trade Rates: [Name of Sector the captain is currently located]”. In the post, the Captain should list the resources they are willing to trade and the rate at which they are willing to trade those resources.
Any other Captain who shares their location with a Space Station may trade resources with the Space Station according to the trade rates posted by the Captain of the Space Station, limited by the resources available in the Space Station.
The exception to this rule is that, upon attacking a Space Station, a Captain loses their ability to trade with the Space Station they attacked. This loss of trading ability lasts until the Space Station is disbanded (the Captain who owns the Space Ship changes their ship’s class) or until the attacker pays the fine set by the attackee (recorded at the end of the Trade Rates story post).
