Well it is ridiculous. Here just today after my last post on this topic I play and go through ny. I see some players rping and others, just talking stupid oorp.
I would like to see more rp and less oorp in ny. When I went to Manhattan again in the cruiser no one said, "let me scan your ship", and from my understanding light arms are not to go through liberty, but no one said anything about the ones in my hold. I mean if you are not going to confiscate them at least ask where I am headed with them.
It is getting to the point where I really will just avoid ny at all costs. I would like to see more stuff like RM does. When I went through there they asked what I was doing. I told them that I was just exploring the area and establishing contact with bases. Their response? I was told to leave because they did not want a Junker Cruiser that close to NB, I was even escorted out of the system.
RM also asks all ships to state their intentions in a system message that says, "All ships state intentions in Rheinland Space"
If you must be in Liberty, realize that ny isn't the only Liberty system. Go to the other Liberty systems. Along those lines, lately smuggling is easy, just stay out of ny. Come on people, for good rp you police players work to make it so we have to do more than just avoid ny to become rich smuggling. The Grau Family is Junker, and Junkers smuggle. We of course do it very secretively and get away with the majority of it. I wouldn't mind at all seeing more of, "Halt Junker and let us see your bay."
You know if people in NY would do more rp and less chit chat I wouldn't have been able to bring over 10,000 units of cardimine to Manhattan. Also I don't see much inter-clan communication. One person may see me smuggling, but not bother to make sure all the clan knows. Case and point...a certain ship brought a large amount of cardimine to Manhattan, making quite the killing. When he launched SA flew right by without saying a word. I was informed that the ship was on the list as a smuggler, being as LSF saw him with cardimine but were unable to stop him....yet SA goes right by without saying a word.
Point being, there is way to much oorp in ny and not enough rp, and smuggling has gotten easy.
