When leaving and heading out to space, Paul at first thought that things might be tricky to deal with. Usually, there would be several military ships that would be covering the transport paths, but it seems like in a short amount of time a lot had changed.
There was now no longer any monitoring of such paths, instead everything was a bit of a free for all, with ships leaving, coming and going. One could see that there were plenty that would avoid some planets as well.
Just to be safe though, as soon as they could, Paul had advised they derailed from these transport paths between planets and take a longer route. Yes, it would use up more energy, which they didn't really have an unlimited supply of, but still, he was thinking more than anything about the attention the ship would bring.
