I hate to be the one that gets flamed for saying it, but I really dislike Discord. I went to your channel (which I do not seem to be able to find again, all of the links on your site just take me back to the Discord moderation bot). Instead of just grousing, I would like to tell you the kind of information that I would find useful.
As an example of what I would like to be able to find:
But back to the point, as a dedicated trader, what can I be doing to aid in the war?
In another thread where I asked this question, I got the idea that traders are more of a . . . do whatever, as a trader, you are pretty much on your own.
If that is the case, I am fine with it, but if there is a coordinated effort, I would like to be part of it. It seems that Operation Ida is about being a coordinated trader-based response. However, as I said, the only things I can find are links to the moderation bot and a view-only spreadsheet. Further, looking at the spreadsheet, it looks like everything has already been repaired.

At this point, I took the time to really read the first post.
I got to this thread first by reading a post in a different thread that directed me to Operation Ida. By searching on Operation Ida, I then found your webpage. From your page, I found your discord moderation bot. Then, knowing you had a discord channel somewhere, I searched for that within Discord. That took me to your channel, which, for some reason, didn't "stick" to the channels list on the left. But like I said, I dislike discord anyways. then I got to this thread by doing a search on Operation Ida in this forum, yes, that should have been my first move.
All that said, I am back to the first post in this thread. It looks like you answered my real question . . . No, there is nothing for traders to do in this war, don't bother trying.
I am leaving this mess of a post up, but it is a disappointment that there is nothing for traders to do. I will probably take my exploration ship back out into the black and ignore the war as best I can.
As an example of what I would like to be able to find:
- As a dedicated trader, what can I be doing to aid in the war?
- Where do I need to go to do it?
- What do I need?
- By need:
- what type of ship (Should I rely on my trusty old T9, my Imperial Cutter, or Should I use a T10. . . )
- how should it be equipped
- by that, do I need guns? I have always relied on running away
- what shields or special things I haven't even thought of?
- By need:
