Hostile jumpgates an lanes

[stone]

I'm not sure how, if tradelanes are so stupid, the lane hackers became rich...I would say that there's a problem with the underlying rp of the lanes...lane hackers cannot be the only people hacking lanes, because every criminal group seems to do so...but...They are the only ones with background, and the lanes and gates are supposed to be very secure secrets...
If you remember, Trent didn't have access codes for any gates in the beginning. So, there's something broken there, and I'm not sure how to fix it without massive work.

Lanehackers do not hack trade lanes in order to dock with them they do it to hack and steal information that is passed threw the gates. You can look at trade lanes as lets say Telephone wires. They hack cargo shipment manifests and routes. The Lane Hackers prefer to sell their information to others rather than do the dirty work themselves, although they sometimes swoop in and tractor in a cargo if it’s particularly juicy.
