For the most part it tries, but many other factors come into play. Traffic will always spawn at certain dates, so sometimes you can arrive too late or too early too a patrol zone and miss it. The key to patrol zones is to put you in a position where traffic probably come through, so it may be best to hang around after your patrol star greys out. Now, if you take your sweet time getting to the zone, attacking other groups, you may get there too late. The other issue is it's hard to get timing down perfectly depending what day you
leave port.
They're many battles, invasions, etc., that RSRD doesn't clue you in on. Often you'll be sent to shipping lanes, when you could be in a major battles, just up to you to choose.
The only issue with RSRD is once you learn it or study history, you can easily find battles, invasions, etc., course it can take a few years.
