Stations, pirating, trade, factions.

[Shire]

Hello, I hope someone still reads this and gives me some pointers, I started playing yesterday and I’m a bit puzzled about some things.

1. The stations, are they supposed to be so dead? I mean, I pick a random station, dock with it and nothing happens. No trade screens, no gossips, nothing. I just sit docked :

2. Where are good places to pirate? I’ve tried L points but with little luck, they either outgun me or I never even see a transport, just armed tugs. Help?

3. The only trade screen on game is the one in my base? No trading on stations out there?

4. I’ve read somewhere that you shouldn’t plunder indies (independent?), and then I shouldn’t plunder the stepsons (I guess) and they also hint they use Touchdown L point, so I shouldn’t try there?. What about the independent? Can I plunder them freely? League? Kong? I’m getting confused at being allied with Stepsons, but still I’m a pirate, who’s to tell me who I can and can’t plunder? Any faction I really should avoid taking on?

Just getting familiarized with the flight model, as always the default keymapping is horrible (is it so HARD to actually do something working instead the old shitty ASDW..) and I’m at the point of figuring the keys I need to remap.

Oh btw, missile countermeasures, I d/l a mod to manually launch them, but do they still DO anything? Seems I still got to dodge every frigging tailer I get no matter how many countermeasures I launch. Stupid :

Thnx for help
