It's my opinion, the spawning percentage rates, and time between spawning possibility, should be somewhere in-between what RSRDC uses and the stock game.

Lurker, has some merchant routes spawning only about 15% of the time the game asks for the dice roll (the time the game spawns the route ,or not).

The time between the spawn chance is sometimes many fold (sometimes 5 to 10x longer between spawning chances over stock).This has us finding merchant shipping being very scarce. What we do find becomes very predictable....because those few shipping route's become the only route's we find.

Cap'n, could you elaborate on how often the "game asks for a die roll"? Without knowing how often the game checks this, it is impossible to make the campaign traffic rational.
