Is no one looking for work in the Middle States?

Just started playing this interesting mod. I relieved my wingman after a few cargo runs so I could explore alone, and assumed that there would always be others guys in the gal;axy looking for work. WHy is it that I have traveled to 3 separate star systems and dozens of stations and not once found any hauler looking for work? I get the seedy black market lurjkers but no haulers in cyan blue who want to talk to me. Ive made no enemies and killed no one.

What gives?

Shipyards and Waystations are good places to look for freighters. Also mercenary bases and pirate bases.

Players having this trouble is why we have added a bunch of new features to the Navigation Screen. You can now filter locations based on the kinds of wingmen for hire.
