Why does [insert faction] keep sending unescorted traders into Xenon controlled areas?

Post by dayang »

So I'm currently hovering around Family Zhin and I've noticed something odd. Tharka's Cascade XV appears to be a significantly defended Xenon sector, with two Xenon Defence platforms either side of the Tharka:Zhin gate,,, and they've parked a carrier on the Tharka side.

Why then, does ZYA insist on sending mining ship after mining ship and trader after trader into that sector and is there any way to stop this silliness?

Yep, factions needs of blacklists to stop sending their ships into suicidal routes.

But at the same time, their need to replace those ships, so you have a great opportunity to make profitsss by selling to them the materials that their needs for ship building. Buy cheap and sell expensive. :teladi:

Perhaps tie it to pilot/manager experience? So there's a small chance that the [Faction] ships if 1 star will wander off into a xenon region if it's nearby, but 5 star will do everything they can to avoid them unless they have escorts.
