Welcome to PG prince. You will soon learn that this game do not have any trade abilities.
This is not Rs lol.
As it was said in previous post, you have to work yourself up and create skill to play and to survive, that you will learn on your gameplay.
This game is a challenge, you need to perform Story Missions/quests for to unlock other systems, better ships and items, you need to gather Energy for your ship, and kill mantis, do Story Missions and Standard white Missions for to gain cry (crystals).
You might want to take a look in the Pirates Advice Cantina:

It's also good to read the rules both for the game and forum, beware of all in caps, if I were you I would edit my post and rewrite it normally without all caps.
