I think I'll go ahead and retcon that Jex had previously explained this to them but that it didn't matter since Doulos doesn't allow it. It's often high risk - financially as well as bodily/mortally. Not always perfectly legal, either.

Maybe Boobaloo Baby Foods is a front.

Much shadiness going on there.

• It only happens during the times they are within the system, so that's fine. One or two rolls after take off and after exiting jump space. No bfd.

BING! INCOMING WAVE - IT STAYS UNTIL THE SENDER CANCELS (when someone takes the job or the job is otherwise canceled)

Wave back to receive a data burst with job details.

Like at the beginning of Spacehunter.

WAVERS

• Businesses in very far orbit
• They send "waves" to passing ships, propositioning jobs
• Like a warehouse or office complex in space
• I'm seeing the pig business in Space Truckers
• no starport fees, no starport hassles, no taxes, less paperwork, less interference,
• And, sometimes, no interference from law enforcement has more to do with it
• Which means no regulation, no oversight, no protection, no consequences
• Sticks only, no trail
• Maybe very occasionally there will be a diner or whatever
• Maybe an actual space diner near an especially large one
• Staff do a 3 on, 4 off thing and are paid well
