how is it that interbus has custom offices in wormhole space. its uncharted space and yet they have custom offices there.
should it be like some derelict customs office or maybe even no custom offices at all?( what would suck a bit)

Yeah, they a pain to kill aren't they.

Just another element of game where actualities not 100% in synch with underlying game stories. I reckon most people will manage to live with it ... Like the w-space COs prior to the advent of POCOs.

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.

Sometimes game mechanics come into play.

Be thankful. WH space planets could have been like WH moons, unusable.

Its been quite some time since we discovered WHs. I assume that Interbus predicted the PI thing and placed CO all over K-Space and W-Space. After the Previous expansion everyone could use those to do PI on planets and assumed they where always there and not knowing that its all a big scheme from Interbus. And as we saw it 1.5 months ago Interbus started to cash in!

Interbus - shuttling you and your goods to anywhere in the known (and unknown!) Universe!

From a storyline perspective it would have made a lot more sense to have the actual faction which controls the space own the customs office (for highsec, lowsec, NPC null) and have it simply be a random faction/corporation anywhere else (including WHs).

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if you take a standings hit with interbus when you blow up one of their COs?

Have killed dozens now and each time I have received an entry in my standings transactions for Interbus showing a standings change of -0.0% with reason "Combat - Aggression".

So, no you do not take an interbus standings hit.
