Contraband: Will It Ever Change?

[Stoner_Steve]

@Nemo
I always base my suggestions on the single person, would you ask that every police player sit by a jumphole for the duration of their playtime, only to be effective if enough are online to blockade each jumphole?

Again, should an individual police officer be allowed to have game-play so changed that they alone can stop any and all smuggling activity? If yes all alternate routes should be removed and we only have gates and lanes, make things very easy for the police to find and guard systems.

Why do some people think that factions are being horrible for trying to not get caught smuggling? Yes, avoiding interaction sucks but for something like a quasi-lawful faction trying to get yourself caught on the lanes whilst smuggling is diplomatic suicide and utter madness.

I agree, see my reply below for further points

Did you consider simple coincidence combined with fact you did not metagame (kudos to you for that, by the way)?
Unfortunately, big part (if not majority) of smugglers would never enter system where three tagged law enforcers are. I for example witnessed some cardamine smugglers which fly through Rheinland usually when no tagged law enforcers are there. Once somebody is on patrol in Frankfurt or New Berlin, they suddenly start flying through Kusari. Once cops/military log off, they return to the usual route...

I was aware that LPI was there. I was willing to get caught by LPI for several reasons. Firstly they don't nickle and dime me to death like the RPF. Every interaction I have with RFP results in a fine, I get the whole Rhineland is poor RP but I, as a player, wish to avoid interaction because its just going to cost me credits to RP with your group.

getting more on topic, what is the point of having a 3-D game space if I'm forced to only use gates and lanes to make it fair for the police/lawfuls to catch me, if I wanted to be caught I would run legal cargo where I won't get in any trouble...or get an interactions...

Don't forget if everyone runs nothing but legal cargo because your choices are get caught by the Police or get caught by the police what will the police do then?
