Some Systems have 6billion of population whilst others have much less. We do see the varying traffic but it's almost always going to the Stations or Nav points via a bee line. Although it's never too busy to need to navigate besides just taking this bee line yourself and somehow you never crash in SC (not even in Wings) perhaps due to the vast light speeds probability of sharing the same space!
Our scanners also show up a huge distance of the system traffic even though its some 2500ls away. Pity, because if it was less you may prefer to take the safer route of an Orbit line as your navigation and thus avoid heavy traffic (knowing the population info) that could Interdict you. At least there is a short grab distance for those but you could be chased if seen on the scanner. It could add more tactics therefore if the SC scanner was not so powerful. Unless you think well we mostly SC at the same speed and therefore you still have a cleaner chance of no Interdictions by being so far away. What do you think?
Does anyone plot courses on the Orbit Lines? They were added for some reason we mostly later switched off.
I never plot detours to Stations but it could be a tactic for safer travel. Is it though?
