When trading with other players
Cosmo Crafter has made available a Trade Station that allows players to sell and buy resources, spacecrafts and defense systems, nevertheless, it is possible for players to trade between themselves (`free trading`) without recurring to the Trade Station.
This rule applies when players decide to engage in `free trading`.
