How is that any different than a powertrader who buys Ores from POBs at 2:00 a.m. and flies below the plane?? IMO, that's no argument for not buffing contraband. Powertraders can powertrade whenever.
If we wanted to make it more fair, buff Contraband sell prices, but also buff the purchase prices a bit so that Smugglers face greater risk of loss if they get caught or lose their cargo.
Besides...2 a.m. server time is also prime time for some OTHER time zones to be active, so they can actually do some policing and smuggler catching if that did occur.
