What I'm interested in is whether or not smuggling is worth discussing or even worth while at all since every thread on the subject seems to simply sink to the bottom of the forum.
It's basically my last refuge since I don't find FL's combat all that interesting and to me the server seems to be slipping from fighting due to RP down to more or less fighting with a thin layer of RP to cover it.
More like simulated space trading and base building with a thin veneer of RP. I don't delude myself into thinking that endlessly hauling base supplies is somehow RP, even if I sometimes enjoy it.
It isn't often said here, but it's clear that the trading and PvP game mechanics have nearly nothing to do with RP: After all, the highest quality and most comprehensive RP is done on the forum.
If those distractions were done away with, though, we would find we have even less players than we currently do.
Credits and ship swag are basically a carrot on a stick, to convince players to RP.
