really, sector 5 station is soo far away from everything that its faster to just skip into the neighbouring sector than to get to the station, and for all this offsideness, the station isn't very safe unless you are a serco soldier, since its trafficked by people 14-13 or pirates/cappers.. for all this offsideness theres really no trade advantage to this station...


and yes, I'd consider this an economics bug if nothing else.. Perhaps make things a bit more lucrative to sell in such an offwards station?

I always wondered that too. It should be the uber-trading post, with the possible exception of sec 15 once the firgate appears there.

It really has little value otherwise (unless another frigate shows up there, too).
