There are currently all kinds of escort missions going from UIT and Grey stations into Serco and Itani space, but there are NEVER any coming out. It's a massive trade deficit and also kindof annoying. Could we get some missions leaving Itani and Serco space heading into grey or UIT?

Aye, I'd like to see some yellow/red/blue convoys in grey!

It would be logical to have UIT/Serco/Itani convoys going to Grey space.

UIT
There are factions in UIT that also exist in Grey, it makes sense that they would need supplies. Given that they are there to circumvent the existing rules set down by the UIT "government", it seems likely that they would need more supplies than the research stations in UIT space.

Serco and Itani
Well, they are at war... there is a long tradition in war of going through shady and disreputable people or organizations to accomplish goals they may not want to be attached to... (think opium trade, smuggling and war lords). At any rate, it is conceivable that the Serco and Itani nations might send goods to Grey as payment for services rendered.

UIT already sends convoys to grey. I agree that Serco and Itani should too.

On a related note, there should be a smattering of minor faction stations in Itani and Serco space. No more than one or two in any given system, and none in the capitol systems, but they should be there.

Most notably escorts from Ukari/Helios to/from pyronis/intros on the Serco side
