All lanes always have the same speed. No variation possible.

Larger trade lanes "Freight lanes" skip out stops and make direct routes through connecting systems like shown below:
These lanes would operate slower than standard lanes so that it actually takes longer to use the direct lane route but requires less micro and these would also make traders more susceptible to pirates.
This makes sense as we typically separate freight and civilian traffic in most cases inrl, it will also allow traders the freedom to choose laziness over safety with the risk of being punished for wanting to click 2 buttons per system instead of 8.

I like the idea. I'd say a speed of about 350 m/s should be slow enough compared to standard lanes, could be an appropriate tradeoff for being able to fly in a straight line from gate to gate. I only wonder if it's possible or not. I'm optimistic though.

1.) Terrible Idea.
2.) Technically possible.

Even if it was possible it would still look terrible, I didn't think about that at 2am when I posted
