Ok, the situation is this:
I dont get to play the game much at late, so i'm not around much. but still, what can i do as a trader in the game?

doing the missions is not that much satisfing all the time. I'm guessing i am the only one who feels like this because i have'nt seen such a post in a while.
but devs, have you got any plans for traders up comming? like group missions for traders? i see the fighters doing them, and since i dont fight (but trade if you did'nt guess that:P ) i want to be able to work with other players as well.

the game as it is for a traders meens you are sort of a lone wolf...i dont get pirated much, so i dont need help from my teem mates for protection etc...and if i do get pirated than i usualy can escape the pirate while keeping my cargo...

i realy hope this will change, because as it is for a true trader (one who does'nt fight) the word "group" is with out meening...

There might be. Someone mentioned an idea for group missions like being required to deliver a large list of various cargo and splitting up the tasks between group members. Trading in convoys would most certainly help the safety factor. As far as what a trader's purpose is... well, there really isn't one right now. You only get personal benefits such as money and faction standing. Maybe later on trading will be more important in some way. Just wait and see what happens until the final release.
