This is a terrible idea. this game is built on the sweat of the brow of the trader.
reason 1:
miner shoots rocks. trader hauls it. pirate stops him, and is hunted by lawful.
if you PAY people to be police, then who will be on their miner characters? no-one. they wont NEED to mine, cos they get paid enough to cover their losses.
Reason 2:
its far to easy to exploit. what is to stop me turning on freelancer when i get up in the morning, activating the char that is parked 1234567890k above manhatten, and then going off to work?
150k per day x 6 = 900k
for ease of maths, thats 1million a week, or thirty million a month.
now, whats to stop me multi-boxing? multiboxers are caught due to their interaction with other people. what if i make 10 characters, and have them moving in a nice flotilla, way up high in the sky? thats 300 million a month.
if you join the BPA, a player pays a player. if a stretch of code pays a player, then it will get abused, and badly.
restricting it to official factions = factionlancer. open to all = policelancer
whats wrong with taking missions in a group? four snubs can rip through pretty much anything, and there's all those lovely credit cards to sell too....
