Trading

• Robot has to initiate the selling instead of trading (not consistent with other trades)
• Does selling cost energy?
• How do we enforce debt consequences? If we do not check money beforehand, what should other services implement as a reaction to “player is in debt”
• Items are not defined yet

Map

I have a problem with the map being just a bunch of planets, right next to each other with some other fields in between. I would be more comfortable with it being a grid of tiles, where each tile is a star system. This either contains planets & optionally mining stations, is empty, a black hole, or has a space station.

One tile is a star system, it has up to 8 neighbors, connected by hyperlanes.

A star system contains 0..3 planets, space stations, mining stations, and black holes.
