Do our Traders only trade with discovered/uncovered stations?

[Bill Huntington]

Do our traders only go to stations we have uncovered already? Or do they trade will all the stations in a sector, even the ones not uncovered yet?

I rarely do a full exploration of a sector. I put up an Advanced Sat, and get the key stations so I can get missions. I often don't get every station. So I'm wondering. Thanks.

I believe so, but as long as you put triplex scanners on them, they fill in the gaps on their own pretty quickly.

The UTs even trade in sectors you have not discovered. So no to your first question.

Thank you.

No, they don't. Before the blacklist manager was available, not exposing a sector was the only way to keep your UT"s out of it.

I know that if you instruct a CLS2 trader to generate waypoints to buy wares within a given range, it will find all places to buy it, whether discovered or not. Not true for selling wares though, although a buy list can be edited to sell at those stations.

I've never had a problem with spending a little bit of money to buy some M5s, equipping them with the Nav and Explorer software and sending them on their way.
