' Wrote:1 - taxing is made to reflect a punishment for a smuggler that was caught (instead of lets say jail-time), not a legitimate trader. think about it.
2 - who gets the money? military, police, ageira? (official factions? i see people screaming ELITIST within 2 seconds of this happening)
3 - are you high?
The governments would use it to finance factions such as house navy and police. That would solve a problem of factions overusing license policies since it is beneficial for them to attract traders and not to repel them. And protect them within their space (no taxes paid if the cargo doesn't make it to the destination)
It would also bring some real economic consequences in cut revenues when embargoes are placed in effect.
To point 1, I think it would make the life better for traders and not worse.
