Second tide after the cue change: my 2 Astrids managed to sell 5 protectyon each. That's 10 of 18 stations in the Avarice sector. The rest got the free gift from I don't know where... just can't find it in the scripts

Good news. I have at least 3x "RIP Protectyon Delivery Raleigh (Condensate)" ships in Avarice now and they're actually buying protectyon from Tidebreak. I still own Tidebreak so I'm able to monitor the situation.
Bad news. Progress is going slow due to the massive stock Tidebreak constantly received before modding it. Tidebreak still sitting at 22930 m³ of condensate and I fear I'll have to script-drain that station if I want to see any results in my lifetime
I just don't yet know how to write a cue that will tigger only once when the mod gets installed / first activated. I don't want to reset Tidebreak every hour - I'd rather fix it once, then let it run on the modified cue.

Good news. It really does seem fixable! In addition to my previous endeavours I began to harass the lately discovered ships named "RIP Protectyon Delivery Raleigh (Condensate)" and made them drop their cargo. I just blew that loot up since my stocks are full to the brim and there's generally too much of that stuff circulating. So now with Tidebreak out of the picture and the RIP Raleighs losing their stock I'm slowly getting close to making it a business. At least the Raleighs I just "emptied" came to my station a short while after, just to buy my protectyon at 27k
Also captured one of them and added it to my protectyon store's traders list. The Astrids go for everything - useless as subortinate protectyon traders - but the Raleighs only do protectyon and nothing else. They filled Tidebreak up until its price dropped below my selling price of 27k.. so I assumed the RIP Raleighs would buy at Tidebreak, but it doesn't have any sell offers. I returned it to faction.civillian, but I guess I broke it... or it doesn't sell when stock is below a certain value... no idea.
