Is there any way to influence or direct the behavior of civilian freighters? Currently they seem to only pick up from my homeworld and then move to colonies. If I create a contract that involves shipping from one colony to another colony, or from a colony back to the homeworld, they ignore it.
I also wish I could convince them to use the Lagrange point jumps. They keep wandering off into the vast empty region between my primary star system and my secondary, 2 trillion km apart. That's a long trip!
