How do I go about trading? I have some cargo but I can't sell it anywhere.

Trading is done through the 'Market' link in the left hand menu which only appears when you are in orbit of a planet. From there you can purchase any of the items sold at that planet (providing you have the money and the cargo space) and also sell any items you may have in your cargo hold (providing the planet buys that item and that they are currently in need of it). Planets carry limited stocks of items and also have limited requirements, these requirements are updated hourly. For information on which planets sell/buy what check out the 'Encyclopaedia Planetary' in the 'Help' option in the left hand menu.

Tip: There are several trade routes between planets, look out for them to take make the most money from trading.
