Yeah tbh, this seems to be mostly just causing a spike in the amount of indie traders. Why make a contract when you and a pal can log yr no rp >4ks
Bases don't need medical supplies or various consumer turd so Cryer's got nothing extra from that side of it. Unsurprisingly we're not being sought out to fill h fuel contracts.
But we did get a base on our doorstep which has given us a lot of conflict activity.
As for pirates, who knows. I put up some big bounty on a bunch of zoner traders (I thought everyone loved to kill these?) And no one's claimed so far.
More activity, yeah. But not a comparable rise in interaction. There's no incentive to hammer a deal out with a shipper when you can just log your own indie alts
