This is why, when my Outcast is there, it's for one of three things:
1. A quick hit-and-run attack, getting rid of one or two LPI, LN, or LSF ships before leaving.
2. Escorting a ship (like the Council of Dons ship, for example) or providing a distraction
3. A scouting run to identify future targets.
In California, Magellan, Cortez, or anywhere in Bretonia, I'll be less focused on destruction and considerably more chatty. But I don't go to New York unless I'm on a mission, and these almost always involve something blowing up.
Summary: Welcome to New York. If you want something less explosive, try California or a minefield.
