Hello, my dear trader whose gaming experience was/still is ruined by those nasty, everywhere lurking pirates.
The solution to your little issue is quite simple: All you need is one (-ONE- // -1-) 'friend' in a smaller fighter craft (this ship doesnt need to be well equipped for any fights at all) that will scout ahead your route for those nasty, everywhere lurking pirates. Are those (*points as pirates*) found by your scout, your divert your route or change your course to above the plane out of scanner range of the lane height.
Enjoy your new gaming experience.
Now even featuring a 'friend'.
