How do you use a trader? With or without commodities?

For me, traders dont need crew. In RL train/truck drivers manage without any crew so in the age of inter-galactic travel i find it hard to believe that long distance transport ships would require a crew. Whoever managed to invent such a ship would become an instant trillionaire in the Disco universe.
Crews at the stations i land at would load/unload. All i see my trader doing is docking with jump gates.

Though my explorer ship is laden with all the things you would need for such an undertaking.

Each to their own i guess. I think ultiamtely everyone has a power trader, very few people would stock a 5K transport woth 4K of fuel/water/oxygen etc. Its where you draw your line in the sand at the end of the day. Everyone does it to some degree. Its what you do with your ill gotten gains that reflects more on you i think.
