If your ship is equipped with an aetherhold that has any glaetherial dust inside, you can trade with any gnome merchant trade ships. SHIP STATUS will show how much dust is in your holds as well as what gnomish commodities are in those holds. If you sell gnomish commodities to the gnomes, the gold will be deposited into your inventory. | If your ship is equipped with an aetherhold that has any glaetherial dust inside, you can trade with any gnome merchant trade ships. <tt>SHIP STATUS</tt> will show how much dust is in your holds as well as what gnomish commodities are in those holds.

| style="background:lightgreen"|Use <tt>GRID TRADE WARES</tt> to see what's available. The simplest form of trading consists of buying commodities with dust (<tt>GRID TRADE BUY <number> <commodity></tt>), then immediately reselling them for gold (<tt>GRID TRADE SELL <number> <commodity></tt>), in which case, dividing the selling price by the buying price will show which give the highest yield. Substantially better returns can be had by buying from one gnome merchant and selling to another, but may require a lot of flying back and forth to find the gnomes and compare their prices. | |||

While aboard any ship, you can scan a world for any constructs or signs of life (though an algontherine can only detect those Lusternians who have passed through the Portal of Fate). This is possible while docked with the world or while launched if your ship is in the same location as the dock portal. | While aboard any ship, you can scan a world for any constructs or signs of life (though an algontherine can only detect those Lusternians who have passed through the Portal of Fate).

You can transfer power from one module to another. Bringing a module below 100% power will make it behave as if it has suffered physical damage. Conversely, giving it extra power can compensate for damage taken. Furthermore, boosting a module over 100% power can actually make it perform better than normal if it has not taken much damage. For example, a command chair will pilot the ship faster, a battle turret will do more damage, and an empathic grid will have superior healing. You can distribute power between all three of those types of modules and also a shield module. | You can transfer power from one module to another.
