A "trade" attribute question

from Stardock Forums
I set up my abilities to include +1 trade route at the start of the game (cost like 3 points). I noticed right off the bat that I had a trade route allowable, even before I research the Trade tech or a freighter. But then when I did research the trade tech, I only had 2 trade routes allowable. Did I miss something? What good is this if you only have the extra trade route allowed when you can't even use it? Has anyone else noticed this?

You start the game with 1 trade route regardless (though you can't trade until you can build a freighter). I'd say that the +1 trade route ability must not be working. Bug it.

As for what good it is, well, when you -can- trade, you'll be good for 3.

Actually, I just tried with 1.02, and the +1 trade route gave me two to start with. You using the latest version?

I'm using the latest version, only started with one, and had two once I researched Trade.
