Intercepting packets? I'm no stars expert so could you tell me how that actually works?

To intercept a packet you send (or have) freighters at the same location as the packet, and transfer the minerals from the packet to the freighters.

Getting the freighters to be at the same location as the packet is the hard part, of course.

If the packet hits the target same year as it is launched, then it is impossible.

If the packet is only in space for one year, then the freighters need to be prepositioned, by calculating which exact position a packet will be in the year it is launched from the Overseer planet toward the important planet. For best security, several intercept freighter fleets should be used, at the locations corresponding to each possible warp speed.

If the packet is in space for two or more years, then the packet can be set as waypoint by the freighter fleet, which must be starting from a position where it can reach the position the packet will reach the following year.
