There is also the possibility that the 'overload' is completely intentional. We have no idea how the aliens that created the protomolecule created anything, much less why, so having a feature where certain objects are rerouted god knows where for reasons only known to them may not be a flaw at all.

Again, not enough information to determine whats going on. Perhaps an overloading ship is allowed to pass through so if it blows up it does so outside the slow zone and moves the incoming ships to a safe location. Maybe slow zone doesn't see it as an overload at all and as a different profile. Maybe its not a safety feature at all.

quote:The long-term solution to this problem is also rather not (a solution, that is.) Holden decides to give the Belters complete and total authority over all the rest of humanity, with basically total veto rights on which colonies live and which starve to death. Because, hey, turning over the fate of earth-dwelling humans to an unaccountable assortment of terrorists who are only marginally guilty for an atrocity so immense and scope that all other mass-murders pale before it might not actually be the wisest course of action. But hey, what do I know? When did he give the belt total authority over humanity? Belters are still heavily reliant on resources from Earth and soon the colonies and now they are being given a way to continue trading for those resources, on a more equal footing thanks to Holden, by providing shipping services between earth and those colonies. If they just let colonies starve, where are they going to get those resources now? And its not like Earth and Mars are getting rid of their military and ships, I'm sure they'll still be patrolling and policing.
