As to buying things this is not a good place to do that kind of trade. Simply telling me about a tech is not enough. We need to do a deep dive into a given tech to buy it. You often need a given level of tech to use an item of tech.

Well, I suppose if you're the granddaughter of the founder of a trade house, you must be pretty well off. But perhaps we have some technology that would be of interest to you?"
Nulle: "This would not be our first such trade. It would take much discussion and I would have to give you a PADD with a lot of information on it for you to take advantage of. We've been trading tech and developing tech pretty aggressively for the last 20 years. I would not sell you one comm link. I'd sell you a comm link and all the documentation about how to build a communication network using the technology I was selling you. "
"We have advanced power transfer systems from Voth technology. We have Iconian weapons amplifiers. We have dozens of advanced shield designs. If you have the Latinum or other good stuff, I can get you data, and a couple of examples.
And if this sort of transaction isn't to your taste, Noseg and I could liberate some personal weapons, guaranteed to greet your enemies with an amazing variety of particles at very high energies. Nothing says get off my ship like a tetryon minigun or a polaron blast wave assault cannon."
