Removing Patrol Path Map?

I've been thinking about the patrol path map and how it makes exploring ridiculously easy.

Would it be possible to change the patrol map so it only shows friendly patrol paths?

You must delete the hostile Patrol in the INI Files. Run to DATA/UNIVERSE/SYSTEM/LI01/LI01.ini I opened with the text editor
Then you delete the patrols, par example

[zone
nickname = Zone_Li01_path_outcasts3_2
pos = 67999, 0, 58384
rotate = -90, 50, 0
shape = CYLINDER
size = 750, 3048
attack_ids = 24
tradelane_attack = 40
sort = 99
toughness = 4
density = 3
repop_time = 90
max_battle_size = 4
pop_type = attack_patrol
relief_time = 30
path_label = outcasts3, 2
usage = patrol
mission_eligible = True
faction_weight = fc_lr_grp, 10
faction_weight = fc_ou_grp, 10
density_restriction = 1, patroller
density_restriction = 1, police_patroller
density_restriction = 1, pirate_patroller
density_restriction = 4, lawfuls
density_restriction = 4, unlawfuls
encounter = patrolp_assault, 4, 0.290000
faction = fc_lr_grp, 0.500000
faction = fc_ou_grp, 0.500000

This is one patrol

But there are patrols in the fields (Badlands,...) yet. For that you need the Freelancer Explorer.
There you can look the patrols in 'Edit Zone' and you can change the patrols. But you mustn't forget the field patrols. You can see they in 'edit zone' pittsburgh debris field. Delete the 'area scout' 'Liberty Roges'.
This is work, but when you understood, it is easy.

methinks you got the wrong end of the stick, Editor

i think he means how do you stop yourself from being able to see the patrols on the navmap

i dont think its possible

@Dugge Dank: Before you listen to Editor you may want to look at his thread entitled "With Each Change: Error".

Yes, I am sorry. This was not correctly

Don't use the patrol paths if it makes it too easy for you. using the friendly paths is also just easy since usually you are allied with law and it shows all thier patrol routes. So just don't use it.

Yeah, I know the smartest way is to just don't use the patrol path map.
But if I want to do that I have to work on my self-discipline

*no.. must... presss.. patroool paths... ggghhrrr .. NO ... Don't .. do it... aargh...*
phew, this will take a while....
