Space Traffic Reports in House Systems

[sempai17]

I was just playing online just a while ago when I sent a Private message over to a Liberty Navy officer requesting information about the current safety in the NY system for traders (I know I should ask the LPI but there are never around). I've only done this a handful of times in the past and I've been rewarded with 2 or 3 of them that responded. notifying me about a sighting of a pirate or two, or that the system was safe(Once a kind officer escorted me in his gunboat to the edge of his jurisdiction). More often than not, I don't get a response. Of course any trader worth his wight in cargo will proceed without a second thought. I've been held up 5 times in 2 days (actualy the lasts time, I payed him an extra mil and a half if would escort me through the system and on the return trip too). I've been blown up once, which was exhilarating and frustrating at the same time. exhilarating because it's been a while since I experience battle, frustrating because I had to limp my beaten transport out of the system with 2 mil of cargo splattered across the system.

Any-who, I propose this:
A group of volunteers that are willing to sit in a system and direct traders that go through their system and relate to them current conditions in the system, EG: sightings of pirates and where, and current trading policies between houses. Sort of like a freelancer version of Air Traffic Control (ATC) instead, Space Traffic Control (STC).

the rules- if anyone likes this idea -are as follows
STC is only limited to the House Systems (Liberty, Kusari, Bretonia and Rhineland) and cannot operate in the border worlds. To those who volunteer, don't expect to be paid, if any, and stay on your toes, Pirates will probably target you so they can take out the network. Also, keep a pen and paper handy, you will be issuing a Squawk code when they launch or from a border world and forward it to the STC in the next system

{Oh and traders, if you happen to bump into one of your STC agents, don't forget to give them a tip}
