Cant figure out how to research trade in first mission of Dread Lords Campaign

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi I have played through the initial mission for Dreadlords numerous times now and can not seem to find the Technology that allows trade between myself and my ally. I am continuously bombarded with tutorial type info telling me to research communications but none of it is there for me to research. Please help!

Not allowed trade in that mission.

In campaign, particularly the first few missions the tech tree is "streamlined" a bit.

Thats a bit annoying. I wouldnt mind except that it continuously recommends that I establish some trade with my allies. Bleh.

I found this particularly frustrating. I started playing the game when it first came out and thought this had to be a bug so I stoped playing for a while hoping that a patch would fix it. I started playing again when I saw the 1.2 patch was out and since I still coun't research "trade" in the first mission I realized I must be doing something wrong and came here. If you look at the tech tree chart in the box you get when you buy the game you can see trade as a researchable skill. It would be nice if the game provided some sort of indication that its not avaliable for that level like maybe have it there and greyed out and not selectable. I mean if your gonig to go to the trouble of not letting me research trade you should remove the trade tab too so there is no confusion. Do the other levels remove other research braches I should be aware of?
