Hi Swe-Rib! Welcome! Trade stations do not automatically generate any "profit". That profit, which you may garner, lies in being able to purchase items at a 25% discount, and then sell these items at another station, or in another system, or "convert" them to other items. (Hint) And also, in being protected from the bad guys, from that station you've bulit. Or, buy a station license. 6 of one, half-a-dozen of another.

Hi SWE-RIB, welcome to the game and forum. Hope to see you out there some time. And like Ophiuchus says built Trade Stations do not generate income from other ships doing bussiness at the station!.....

What they said above. I believe you have EM confused with the X series.
