Lack of water for Boron
Anyone else noticed that the Boron only have 1 System that can produce water?

It messes you up a bit on the Boron Start if your trade ships arent high enough level to reach the system, and who wants to micro manage all the time lol

there is no lack of anything in boronspace except traders.
Tons of ice and metal in the southern sectors, but not enough traders to deliver it to kingdoms end to create hullparts and such.
These are some very good trade oppertunities for the player..... i made millions very quick in early game and the cash keeps flowing (especially from metal and hullparts where the sellprice is triple from the buyprice)

Yah boron is an intermediate ware haven

I just used two hacking terminal for commission and discount and traded hull parts for millions

I tend to do the hack missions at 500k a pop and get the black markets opened up on most stations to keep me supplied with hacks, while managing my trades and building stations.

hack missions dont lower your rep so its good money

If you mean like you do for Antigone and Teladi, there is no Trade guild.

They don't have much of anything. I discovered them about ten hours ago and their systems have more stations than ships in them. They built their warf and now it's dead sectors.

I guess it's more of a late game goal to build these sectors up, but my biggest gripe is the travel through Sanctuary of Darkness. We can't even clean up that crappy radiation everywhere and now I'm supposed to send whole trade fleets into this dead sector? How about no?

Borons need an update where they have some life from day one. I love the designs of their ships and bigger map, but as a faction they are a non-factor.

The AI does fine in this sector. Watch them they follow the pre-planned path all the time. Have not lost a single AI ship to the Negative in that sector. Seems like the Devs actually did this one right, unlike the Avarice nightmare.

The boron sectors is Literally the Players Dream land. Your right they have hardly anything.. Which makes it perfect for you to fill. I would wager just a large water Factory in Rolks Demise (you did find all the boron sectors right? Right?) would rival a Large Computrnic Sustrate factory in Terran space.
