My wife and I have traded between ships twice now with no problems. Basically, you have to be practically touching and you cannot be moving. Then it works just fine.
Apparently you can beam your away team hundreds of kilometers without issue, but trading over a simple item requires so much power it must be done by hand.. Across a space tether, by Indonesian monks, who brought the item to the airlock on the back of a ritualistic mule by the light of the full moon of the system you currently occupy.

It's because you're TRIBBLE Cheney. The Universe hates you. I wish I could say I'm sorry..wait, no I don't.
It's been broken for some time as far as I can tell. Never been able to trade.
