Trading factions, are you getting more business?

[Zapp]

I'm looking at another side of the coin, pirates have more targets and opportunity to RP. They must be marking down the locations of bases and sitting around the area hoping to pick up some money, since I assume people would be more willing to give something since the run is considered more 'valuable' than just credits, that is if part of a team.

Of course, the majority of pirates seem to be working on their own bases. For me, I see a player-made base's main use to be for independent factions who don't really have their own base (the Neo-Terran Front is an old example that comes to mind, in their question to colonize Kansas or whatever they were trying to do).

As for me... my pirate has been busy. Not stalking bases and extorting them, but just picking up on the increase in traders in general (even if they're not supplying bases, you have people trading to build money to pay for the bases in the first place).
