Monster encounters are just not fun. In my experience they often are extremely powerful and can and WILL kill you not only through walls but through floors of spacecraft if the floors are close enough together. They often quickly wipe out the entire crew of the ship, even if you have a bunch of troops, and rarely seem to add anything but annoyance. I suspect their only true purpose was as a way to prevent/discourage people from AFK flying ships around, since the monsters will kill the crew and the ship will stop doing whatever it's doing meanwhile the AFK player gets stuck in an infinite respawn-death routine if their berth is within the kill range.
Heavy trading is not "the cause" of them, at least not the sole trigger. I generally have them happen when I am AFK surveying.
If the desire is to stop players from AFK surveying then the survey system needs a rework instead.
