[The question video wasn't transcribed; the answer is about trading with alien races and faction reputation.] Will we be able to trade with the alien races?asked by This Is What Happens

So, yeah, so we're going to have a very complicated relationship and reputation system between various factions, which include all the different alien races, as well as the different branches of the UEE government, things like the Merchants Guild, Mercenaries Guild, etc. On races that are more hostile to humanity, if you start to do things and trade with them and get your relationship to them in the neutral or positive zone, then you'll maybe be able to do some trading with them that you wouldn't do just by default. I'm not necessarily sure that I can promise you'll be able to do too much with the Vanduul, because generally they're very hostile with humanity. But definitely with the Xi'an; the Banu tend to be neutral or positive anyway. [...] relationships and interactions with various factions by how you ongoing interact with them, and that will enable you to be able to do deals with them and not do deals with them. So there you go.
