A lot of lawfuls are also pewhappy.
Played a quasi-legal smuggler the other day, complied with one officer's demand only to get shot down afterwards by another guy who thought I was somehow still breaking the law.
smuggling is still rather profitable and can have interaction- if you know where to go.
Unfortunately these spots are few and involve travelling through the worst of lolberty.

Example, you can pick up slaves on pittsburg and take them to the omegas through rheinland.
It's a reaaaaaally profitable route for freighters (not transports, small tradies! perfect for smuggling)
However.... It runs you straight through most of liberty and rheinland, you're going to get caught if you stick to the trade lanes.
Not because the cops are patrolling, but they're usually idling and looking for unlawfuls to pew so in their boredom they WILL check your cargo.
So you'll take a route that involves fewer chokepoints.
What happens?
You encounter noone.

It seems you've forgotten an important detail.
this is a roleplaying community, innit?

tl;dr?
Smuggling is already really profitable.
Barrier gate sells artifacts at an okay price considering how close it is to manhattan.
Just that it's harder than avoiding pirates so noone does it.

Edit: Which is what I'm gonna do at rollback.
Manmode up in here.

This is still not that day, however.
