NPC trade/supply routes

[jammi]

I might be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure that currently, when an NPC enters into a jumpgate they don't actually come out on the other side. They are simply despawned.

True dat ^

However on this topic what I think would be awesome is to see NPC transports running some more profitable cargo every now and then so pirates can make a fair bit of cash but without having to rob every player in sight. For example I love to RP a pirate, it's great fun, but I will never mug a player transport I just find it pointless and dishonorable and such, but this would be a perfect alternative. I still get to RP a pirate and can raid transports without ruining someones day. It would be like a more fun version of mining where instead of asteroids, you mine NPC transports.

NPC transports are already set up this way. They'll carry cargo that's appropriate for their faction - so Bowex transports might be found carrying gold, for example. Omega 3, and Galileo are pretty good for high value NPC cargo.
