Oh yeah about that.Actually it does make sense inRP,since unlawful's cant go to the nearest shipyard and get an Eagle or a Roc.They need the CTE to smuggle in a few,charging a significantly larger amount then the market value to the unlawful faction.It would be good for forum RP,but i don't see any other use for it honestly.
Hm, well the thing about black markets is, that once something is on it you don't have any control where it goes afterwards. Say you sell one of your ships to Junkers on Kreutzberg Depot in Rheinland: it might end up in the hands of some independet Gallic pirate, who doesn't care about who the manufacturer is or if he is on good terms with them.
But yeah, WIP. Just some food for thinking as you continue developing it.
