Convoy Flight Plans



An integral part of the new Piracy system that was added into the game along with Game Update 16, these flight plans can be used to track wealthy convoys through hyperspace. Once the convoy's planned route is known, players can wait in ambush for the convoy and spring their trap, taking any bounty that they can lay their hands on.

The Flight Plans are randomly given to players who inspect Droid Interfaces using an Interface Scanner. The "Security Rating" of the Flight Plan and the chance of one being found does seem to depend upon the Reverse engineering level of the Droid Interfaces used. The Security Rating effects the difficulty of the convoy that will spawn when the flight plans are used. All convoys feature Tier 5 ships, but higher Security Rated Flight Plans lead to convoy with more ships and, subsequently, more loot.

Flight Plans need to be loaded into an Interdiction Burst Generator before the player can use the generator to trap convoys.

The Flight Plans can be traded.
