Got trading and starports working, however some initial problems caused the beta servers to go down last night. Anyway, those crashes have been addressed and I'm restarting the beta servers right now.
Firstly, you can trade only with other ships and starports built on the planets. Simply move within 25gu of another ship, or orbit the planet, click on the starport, then click on the trade button. You will then be presented with a window, which allows you to buy and sell goods from your cargo hold. Left clicking transfers an entire block of goods, right clicking brings up a dialog asking how much to transfer. Prices at a starport will go up and down, based on the demands of the planet. When trading with another ship, then the prices are static.
Note items will go to the starport once the planet has enough to meet it's needs, this means not everything will be available to buy from the starport if the planet doesn't have enough of a particlar good. This RESERVE will be set by the person who manages the planet.
Lastly, I'm working on the planet interface now, which will display the details of the planet and allow it to be mangaged.
