There should be a one or more trade route(s) that is/are so consistently difficult/dangerous that it requires multiple people to complete.

As a simple example, two stations in close proximity of differing factions, where one faction has every player listed as kos, and the other station is the trade destination. Any player arriving in sector will receive a sf.

The destination station may be paying exorbitant prices for chaos swarms, or some other massive commodity.

It should be in grey space, convenient to pirate activity (sedina/latos).

I like this but it seems like it might be easier to have it as a Serco to Itani trade route. Just more logical once the faction is fixed and tri PoS is a thing of the past.

But, a similar situation in Gray would be cool too.

+1 to OP
+2 for most lucrative route being smuggling between itani/serco
+3 to ban 3PoS (Serco/Itani mutually exclusive)

IF the PCC could program missions that require multiple players and be able to have better control of the npcs then It would be easily done.
