Negative consequences of moving best premium scrap selling points to Gallia

[nOmnomnOm]

I mean smugglers don´t have to be those hiding guys like Thyrzul is describing them, they also can for example guys which likes adrenalin rides (apart from making lot of money) so they on purpose smuggle under cop noses. Ask in AFC about that... It´s like football hooligans which show a finger to cop or swear at him just because they enjoy the confrontation.

Alright since my faction came up on it's own...

here is what i've been doing and also ill state my wishes.

What I/AFC has been doing in the past or till now is things like:

-Past: Getting 1 contraband commodity (becasue insults dont make cops chase after you) and show it to the cop. The cop will then chase after you to make you drop it on death while you tease him. Stimulation of a cop chase. We didnt complain about how many cops ganked us.
Problem: We got LSF giving us a hard time threatening too much for me to worry about the future of the faction.
Present: We go on the edge of what is allowed...

-Past: Smuggling using the lanes becasue it would be the fastest way.
Problem: The issue is not about getting caught or not. hell... we loved to run away from cops... the issue is right after when all that will happen is a message from the cops giving you a fine and a deadline to pay it or your faction goes ZIP.
present: Use the lanes when no one is around. Use the holes or other methods to play cat and mouse when cops are around.

-Past: Race events where I invited cops to join for chasing us on non-armored light fighters (that being us)
Problem: No one came, really. Maybe just 1 guy.
Present: I dont even bother with it anymore becasue of the lack of interest I see.

Those are the 3 main ones that involve this discussion.

The general problem is that if i were to continue this behavior of #1 and #2 (#3 is no problem 99% of the time) I predict AFC would have been kicked out of every house by now. Hell... having even 1 contraband is horrible ? Ughh....

My wish is basically that cop factions would not link 1 person to the whole of the faction in terms of smuggling. I don't really mind if one ship from the {AFC}- gets an FR5 for it if that needs to happen. It could suck, yes... but still I'd let it go. This also comes into play when I get messages to the faction for a guy's smuggling screw-up. How inRP is the faction headquarters responsible for the guy's actions? The club is grown adults. Not baby-sitters. Even when I state otherwise it's basically "Nope you should have not picked him and been more careful when recruiting" As if to tell me via oorp that with RP comms.

oh and over-the-top fines for things suck as well. Especially like above I state that the smuggler will die and THEN on top of that needs to pay again. (and AFC is deliberately closed economy so dont tell me we have lots of cash on other ships to pay for it)

So the wish is:
Not have FR5ing for whole factions for instances pertaining to individuals in the group.
Not have huge fines that don't make sense compared to the situation.
Not have comms directed to headquaters insisting it's the leader's fault becasue he has to baby-sit adults inRP and keep track of everyone. (well you can do it inRP but... just annoying as)

The result:
More chases will happen.
More risks will be taken.
More silly annoy-the-cops RP.
Hell... lets make a watering-hole for jail RP even. I wouldnt mind if a character from the faction got caught and got arrested and had to RP in a jail for some time. Would be cool.
From the above maybe prison breaks like the one I did before. You could FR5 the ship, again. But if the faction will possibly get at whole involved then I wont risk it.

And much more fun...


My issue is about SUSTAINABILITY
How long I can do these naughty actions with cops until the faction gets stabbed in the back becasue "RP Consequences" crap?
How far can I take it until it turns on me?


On the last note: when I was creating the faction I was told by a few people that I should go to each offical cop faction leader and discuss this issue. Some agreed and just wanted a bribe so inRP it makes sense and we could have some fun. Others said 3 strikes and you are out...

Again. Sustainability. How long can my herd of deer be alive before they all die out?


So.. it doesn't surprise me that cops get less activity in this sense. I'm just a bit frightened to progress considering all that I worked for could be destroyed just becasue we wanted to play "cops and robbers"


Edit: If you want proof of these things that I listed then I'll send it over.

Also I forgot to mention I have even an event that involves us chasing away from cops while carrying contraband. We did it 2 times already with little chase or not even at all. :/
