Negative consequences of moving best premium scrap selling points to Gallia

I myself don't explicitly want players to play smugglers, but if they choose to do so, do it properly then. At which point we can indeed agree that motives of preys can in general be against the purpose of the mod, but that's part of the game.

Preys are inferior in strenght and thus seek soltitude, predators are superior and thus seek confrontation. Sometimes there is no interaction at one specific point of space between predator and prey and both can continue on their way, perhaps having other interactions instead, that is generally good for the prey as it stayed alive. Sometimes there is interaction between predator and prey, but up to the participants it can end up without combat (which is good for the prey), with combat but a successful escape of the prey (which is good for the prey) or the escape failes and the prey dies (which is bad for the prey). Counting all these I somehow found more favorable outcomes for preys than unfavorable ones, even if we take out the 'interaction without combat' option, it's still 2 to 1. Tell me more about how this situation is bad for the prey.

Why do you think smugglers should haul contraband only to get caught? Why do you think police should treat them even more lightly? What is the point of a predator role if it cannot fulfill it at the end? What would be the point of catching smugglers if police gonna have to treat them well in order not to discourage them from creating activity in one's own ZoI? What content would such interaction have, how would it look like? A tea party perhaps?

You seem to be so much about forcing interactions for the sake of having interactions that you forget that predator roles already do that, by their very nature, as well as that prey roles are totally opposite to that, by their very nature. It's fine the way it is.
