There is a little thing I've noticed, Trade fleets in hyperspace just fly straight toward their destination, not giving a crap about storms. It would be nice if they used the clear paths towards their destinations, like actual trade routes. It would also make it easier to make ambushes and it would be more IMERSIVE
They should cross small patch of deep hyperspace tho. Hybrasil - Corvus route can be insanely long if you avoid it entirely.

Well of course, don't make the traders stupid, they could stray from the path, it doesn't have to be perfect. The biggest thing in a traders mind is gettin there quick, gettin there alive, and gettin money

I believe there are pathfinding algorithms that takes 'movement cost' into account - movement cost, speed reduction, hazard, or whatever you call it.

Well then why do they keep getting caught in hyperspace storms???

I meant the algorithms do exists, not they are implemented in the Starsector.

I've just started playing the new version, and I'm a bit confused: how do I ambush or find pirates? I'm getting these waves of different colors washing over my ship but I can't tell if they mean I'm detecting something or someone is scanning me...

Those are the edges of sensor circles, they mean that you're within the detection range of some fleet. The color indicates what fleet it is, e.g. yellow = Hegemony. If you make yourself less visible, e.g. turn your transponder of, go dark or hide in a nebula, the circles become smaller.

At the beginning usually pirates find you, just fly around until they attack. You can of course visit typical pirate locations to speed this up, like pirate stations or wormholes (hyperspace site is best). Or you follow around a patrol and fight with them.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

Ok. This may sound stupid, but I *constantly* forget to buy black market things first. Is it something were supposed to adjust to? Or maybe market suspicion could temporarily go negative so we don't have to keep the order in mind.  :-\

That's a (fixed for 0.7.1a) bug, so there's that.

Speaking of forgetting things....
I seem to be making a habit of doing a ton of stuff in hyperspace forgetting my transponder is off and then getting shouted at by patrols when I enter a system.
Some kind of obvious feedback for this would be nice.

I learnt to order a jump, press space JUST BEFORE the fleet makes the jump, check the transponder, turn it on and resume.
