I want to ask other players : What are the advantages of online colonies? Really, I don't see one for now.. it just slower my progress when I switched from local.. It's very hard to trade some resources because no one need them or everyone just sell them and.. offline trades prices, like with the Space Elevator or Galactic Freight, you know.. you can't make profit from selling there and you lose a lot of money by buying from there.. So, on online game I'm barely progressing and making money. Am I doing something wrong or I'm not enough advanced to see the advantages? {sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker} Thank you!

Online colony lets you meet people, have your own CW or be a part of one, and talk with them, which is the most important feature for me.
Trading is one great deal; true that some goods are not bought by many folks but they many a times sell the goods you need very cheaply. I do so myself! If you know people; they are many a times willing to give RSS for free if you get stuck somewhere.

And now with auto trader in place, GBT is much more powerful and useful than it was ever before. Always has loads of resources on it.

Embassies are another thing that you can brag about, by showing your embassy collection and bragging your relations! Honestly except for triant and AA and sometimes starships; I don't think I have exported any good for money.

Another thing is you get to compete with other CW and get a chance to see your name too in the LBs.

Like vince says, if you limit to the game the main difference is you can trade resources with other players and not just earth.

For us, its being part of something larger. A community, be it NOZ or FFF, interacting with other players. Talking about the game, helping each other.

Thank you guys, but GBT trades are international. I mean on the GBT are all of the trades available in game? I don't think so because everytime the trades are the same and only some players trade

The trades that you can see are as well limited to your trading capacity. You can't see the trades over your trading capacity and hence you might not be seeing as many contracts. But still am sure the number of contract present right now on GBT are way more compared to what they used to be. So just have a bit of patience ;)

online - you can gift between your or other colony's very easy .
Offline The only way to gift between YOUR own colony's is using two devices .
So it makes gifting very much a pain .
Trades once you have the ship port you dont need trades for much of anything as you can import a million of almost all resources .

With the new update trades has become much more usefull and it is much more likly to find what you want
