Advice for restricted systems

[architect1337]

So I'm pootling around Empire space in my Imperial Courier when I jump into the Orang system.

I notice a number of 'real' players in the area, and decide to visit one of the local stations.

I then get interdicted by a Federation Corvette and Dropship (in a Wing) who, without warning, open up on me. Suffice to say, I lasted about 2 seconds without even the option to jump out.

So the question is - is there anywhere where I can see which systems are 'restricted' on pain of a quick death? Equally, any Imperial wings fancy taking out the Federation presence in Orang? Oh and to anyone jumping someone without warning - please at least offer some sort of warning? I was lucky in that my Courier was a scout ship so the credit cost was small but had I been flying in my clipper - I'm sure I would have still got a good kicking but the credit cost would have been harder to swallow.

Well all popular systems like starting systems, community goal systems, popular trade routs (like Orang), Lave and systems around it and all powerplay systems (expansion systems, HQ, controlled) and far away systems which give good shadow delivery missions like Robigo. Federations space is more peaceful as there isn´t that many good trading routs.

Orang sell imperial slaves on low price so traders are there and pirates hunting them. Systems outside pp are are usually empty. Usually you won´t meet any CMDR outside the 50 or so popular systems.

To the OP: how in the nine hells you manage to die in a courier? For me, after i buy the courier, i never ever died in this game. Fill up with A boosters, best available shield, some scb's and you have all the time to high wake with this buffer and some mediocre flying skills.
