Negative consequences of moving best premium scrap selling points to Gallia

[Croft]

I can't say how smugglers are treated currently since I've been far too preoccupied with OSC to dust off any of my old characters but I vividly remember being treated in a very binary fashion whenever I "surfaced" to have some fun with the police, either by being blown up or more commonly having my entire cargo demanded and a fine issued, not particularly fun for giving someone a chance to catch you.

Limiting actions on "law breakers" may seem silly but the alternative is starving yourself of activity (case in point), simply throwing credits at the problem isn't the way to handle it because money making in Disco/FL is a one way street with a deadend, once people have the cash they stop, it isn't sustainable.

I'd suggest doing something like allowing smugglers a chance to talk their way out of trouble, tell your members (this goes for all lawful factions) to RP your scans as rough guides not 100% accurate magic eye beams that can detect exactly what is in every single cargo crate. Reward those who provide good fun and explain to the more difficult players why they're not getting off so easy.
If you do catch someone out in a bad lie, don't make their entire trip worthless by removing their entire cargo, only take a quarter or issue a fine but not both. After all you want these folks to come back time and again.
