Oolite Bulletins

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but why is it empty? It seems hard to believe that the player is the only one who uses it.

This is not strictly correct...you will sometimes find sunskim traders on this route and several OXPs add ships outside the spacelanes as well.
I had a very long tedious run to the sun a couple of days ago when I encountered three trader-escort groups and a Mk III Cobby all heading the same way and all mass-locking me.

Witch/sun route is only ever empty when you are hunting.
When running near empty, without a defensive anything, that route holds a pirate's annual festive bash.

Cheers!

Yep... that's the way the trumble crumbles!
