šŸŒŒ Introducing Trade Realms: A Modern Tribute to Classic Space Trading Games! šŸŒŒ

Hey, space explorers and fellow gamers! šŸ‘‹ My name's Trekkan (aka Troy), and if youā€™ve ever played *7 Days to Die* on the BIA servers, you might know me as the creator of the **RAT server manager software** used by Riggs. Today, Iā€™m thrilled to share something *really* exciting: my very first video game, and Iā€™d love for YOU to be a part of its journey.



šŸš€ What is Trade Realms?

Imagine stepping into a universe inspired by the legendary BBS games of the pre-1994 era, like *Trade Wars* and *Ultimate Universe*. If those names ring a bell, youā€™re in for a nostalgic treat. And if they donā€™t, *Trade Realms* is your chance to experience the magic of classic space trading gamesā€”reimagined for a **24/7 multiplayer world!**

Think *Eve Online*, but simpler, more accessible, and **text/2D-based**. Itā€™s a game where youā€™re the captain of a ship hired by the **Federation** to battle the **Cabal**ā€”a faction threatening to dominate the universeā€”all while amassing wealth, power, and influence. And how you use that wealth and power? Thatā€™s entirely up to you.



āœØ Key Features of Trade Realms

šŸ›  Outfit Your Ship
Choose from **61 unique devices** (with hundreds more planned), including autopilots, warp-shielding missiles, fuel boosters, and planet production enhancers. Customize your ship to match your strategy.

šŸ“ˆ Trade Smart
Scout trading ports across the universe, **buy low, sell high**, and outsmart other players in the market.

šŸŒ Terraform and Defend Planets
Turn barren worlds into resource-rich powerhouses. But bewareā€”other players can **steal your resources** if you donā€™t defend them with cunning strategies and devices.

šŸŒŒ Control the Universe
Use advanced tools like **plasma warps** and **gate flashes** to reshape sector pathways, create shortcuts, or hide your planets from prying eyes.

šŸŒ€ Explore the Unknown
Venture into dangerous, **Cabal-controlled dimensions**. These high-risk zones promise incredible rewards for the bold and daring.

šŸ™ Discover Specialty Ports
The first 10 sectors feature **Federation Specialty Ports** that offer essential services like buying attack drones, refueling, upgrading your ship, and even rescuing you if youā€™re stranded (for a price, of course!).

šŸ‘¾ Watch Out for Cremlins
Pick up these mischievous stowaways, and youā€™ll need to visit the **Galactic Teamsters** to deal with them.



šŸ§‘ā€šŸš€ Why Am I Telling You This?

*Trade Realms* is still in **alpha**, and I need your help to make it the best it can be. Whether youā€™re a fan of old-school space games or just love testing new indie projects, **your feedback is invaluable**. Let me know:
