Station small ships animation
just a small note. All the ship animations around and especially in the hangar are ridiculous. There are far too many of them, which makes the whole thing absolutely ridiculous to watch.
They follow each other like the wagons of a train.

The same animation, a little more "sporadic" reinforcing a little the realism side. Actually it looks like mobile game animation

It is a mobile game simulation. Welcome to the X Universe.

I remember drones used to be able to trade between stations, but i nvr seen civilian ships travel between stations. They're usually there as criminal ship's target practice

in the past there was "civil traffic" from station to other stations as well, and i think I have ssen this also happen in 6.0. but only very very very rarely. Do you guys know how far those stations can be appart for this to show up? because i actualy like to see them travel from station to station.

20 -30 km, give or take some.
Cargo Drones used to utilize those connections for direct Station Trade... but they also took too long and Trades timed out more often than they were supposed to.

Though, the Code should still be there and easily reapplicable... if one wants to take the challange.

I knew something was missing there.

Why not make it optional in the options with a warning it may have negative effects on trade?
