I've met two of your folks today in Penny, a train and a cruiser. I'm glad I decided to DM the cruiser guy before RPing any further to make him aware that 2.8 doesn't allow escorting in cruisers or bigger outside of ZoI (and that's something he should be made aware of beforehand by your people), because the guy in the train pretty much tried to convince him of engaging anyways just to save 4,000 units of helium which he wouldn't had lost should he complied with my actual demands. It's pretty lame, on top of putting this faction's officialdom and the cruiser guy in a bad spot.
Do better and don't get your own people in trouble, people barely encounters your ships outside of Xi and Gamma, and the encounters usually are kinda lame when the other end involves a DTR transport.
