I'm not sure how prevalent it is but I carry items in my hold as RP cargo.
In order to avoid the hostile chaining of a system would it be possible to script the NPC's to ignore cargo amounts less than say 5 units when scanning a hold?
Well, I use the 3 - 5 Pharmaceuticals or other commoditys to offset NPC Pirates or Guards if they want to *tax* me.
For excemple : I have 3525 PremScrap , and the `Sair / `Cast / `Gosha / *insert favourite rookie here* wants the 3 Pharmaceuticals because they have a high base falue per unit at his home base.
I would probably rethink some of my trade routes if I could not use that trick any more, as I dislike setting a certain faction to *friendly* only to trade with them. I fly Freelancer ID as a trader. I trade with all who don´t shoot me - and take care to ceep the rookies calm.
If that would not be possible any more I suspect I would stick to the Core Worlds more and miss the interaction. But most would probably just rep their traders for certain routes and stick with the routes .
Ok, setting to more than 5 units would not hurt me, but is it possible ?
