To Lane Hackers

[VoluptaBox]

All I can say is "deal with it". And don't get me wrong, it's not the insulting kind of "deal with it", rather the advice kind of one, like look for solutions and learn to out smart them.

Pretty much what chopper said. Escorts, varying routes, and so on. As you said, you trade for roleplay, not cash, so you won't mind going around an obstacle. To give you an example, I once went through Leeds, Cambridge, Omega-3, Omega-5, Omega-41, Omicron Theta, Sigma-17, Honshu, New Tokyo, Shikoku, Bering, Colorado to get to New York just because a bunch of pirates were in Magellan (it doesn't always make sense for some chars to use such a route, but it did for mine and it does for IC). I avoided them because earlier that day they, a gunboat+fighter+bomber, caught me, but I still managed to get away. Then those same guys chased me for the entire day, and ended up in giving up, because everytime they caught me again I was near a base. I've also run into Hackers, more than once, and I've always got away, even if I fly mostly solo.

Bottom line, fine some in game solution and try to enjoy the interactions. As far as I'm concerned, they, the Hackers, are doing nothing wrong.
