Quite simply the Trade station is a structure made available when at least two players ally with each-other and is an independent structure used to drop off materials without having to transfer the vehicle also.
It is used by having a vehicle dock at a docking port, now in order to transfer something to another player the vehicle must unload it's contents and the player must select which ally the materials are to go to this puts those materials into that players docking bay at the trade Station where the player can send a vehicle and pick the contents up. In order to load something a player has left for you dock a vehicle at the Trade Station and select the materials from your docking Bay.
BEWARE! The trade Station is designed for use between colonies and is self sufficent and is also defended!
