Trading Outpost
Allows Spice to be stockpiled in greater amounts than a maxed-out colony with Spice Storage. Friendly empires automatically trade with a system containing a Trading Outpost, granting a trade route bonus but not enabling purchase of the trading system. Colonised systems within travelling distance of an Interstellar Drive level equal to their T-score can send surplus spice to the trading outpost.

Interaction
Similar to usual trading, with two exceptions:
 * 1) Though outpost can store an unlimited (or considerably higher than 99) amount of Spice, player can still only carry 99 of each color.
 * 2) Only item sold are Spice Storage, Uber Turret and Trading Outpost units.

Pack Mule
Allows other ships in your fleet to:
 * Store spice
 * Automatically collect spice from other planets in friendly systems

Carrier Pigeon
Send a ship in the fleet off to sell spice and collect Sporebucks.
 * Sending a ship off on a delivery does not free up a fleet slot.
 * Sporebucks collected from sale are lost if:
 * Ship is destroyed on way back to player
 * Alliance ends before ship rejoins fleet

Abilities
Raid trading outpost. Random amount of Sporebucks/Spice per sustained beaming.
