It got weird quick. Anyway, I'm writing up a post now. All after will be jank phone posts. Well, keyguy, I know you stressed not being tracked but.. well, the traders only have mobile units for defense. So they would be quite adept at tracking FTL and cloaked objects, especially an old design like the drive terrans use. The downside to this well tuned sensor grid is the fact its pretty local. Outer system scanners will detect large signatures. Inner system would detect small one. The closer to a planet one would get the distance from mars to the sun, the sensors would be ridiculously pin point. Gotta have some sort of defense as the Traders have no real offensive force and the defense force they have is rather small and spread thin.. PLUS, its Sevren, the capitol of the nation. its gonna be monitored and defended heavily.
