Negative consequences of moving best premium scrap selling points to Gallia

[nOmnomnOm]

FR5 should be very last resort for special cases imo. Not something common. It discourages player to fly into the house, when the "criminal status" can be solved by just putting the person to criminal database, what means all the NPC won´t fire at him all the time, but he gets in trouble when meeting players.

Yeah I like this. Also gives some lee-way to redeem yourself?

I guess there should be some balance. If some ship is caught here and there from time to time, maybe it could be doable. But if police catch ten differenct ships of same organization doing smuggling on thirty occassions per week, it doesn´t make much sense to treat that organization as law abiding and pretend there is nothing wrong with it. Will give it a thought.

Is it possible to differentiate minor offenses from major offenses? A civilian in RL can have a lot of fines for parking and such, Sure there are demerit points but there is also a redeeming system.
How about if it is a minor offense or if they guy goes to the criminal database he could do some time or community service to get rid of it. Ofc not permanent since criminal record.

I hope you know RFP doesn´t do that. Maybe I sound really threatening in my RP messages (that´s how it should be, right? ), but you know I stressed you last time that I didn´t even think about FR5 for AFC.

np all part of the game and RP

Hard to say without knowing how you define huge fine. Especially when you run faction with closed economy, so different what is huge fine for you and some powersmuggler can be quite big. But if you mean fines for very small amounts like few units, I work on change of Rheinland laws which should be more friendly in such cases than the current one.

huge as in dis-proportional to the crime committed
ofc if it is a multiple offence then i get it too. The closed economy feature you dont really need to worry about when you give fines... it is the proportion.

Like I said above, it is matter of amount. It´s part of quasi-lawful factions´ RP to do illegal stuff, but if you will be seen doing it three times a day, it wouldn´t make much sense to not outlaw you. But like I said, will give it more thought to see if I can find some balanced system to give it a go without completely dropping reasonable RP.

you were also saying that it takes a cop a lot of time to wait for a smuggler...
so you are asking for an increase in smuggling....
but if you ask for that and then now say that 3 times a day will lead to bad results then why would smugglers want to be caught more often.
All im saying is... in order to sustain the activity there shouldn't be outlawing of a whole group...

But to make things balanced on your end since i DO understand where you are coming from: How about some arrest/jail RP or Community Service.

It wouldnt be against AFC lore for instance to have members do some time. Could even be fun if done right!

I guess that was before I became leader? I don´t remember two of us having this talk, nor chosing any of those two mentioned options.

I think so, yeah. might have been. Also the LPI leadership changed as well. After that there was a decrease in AFC-Cop shenanigans.

Another two issues I´m giving thought currently.

Hm, I wanted to react shortly. Oh well... Also, after reading my post, it si entertaining to realize that police faction leader is putting so much work to make Rheinland smuggling friendly house

It's not so much having a smuggler friendly house
It's about ... well... not running out of smugglers to catch . Let's put it that way
The current system is for nabbing smugglers and laying down the law on them, making sure they after a while don't do it again.
This doesnt work imo in the long run...

Having said that. Yes... i understand FR5ing in Rhineland is the major last resort thing... but still.

i do like the criminal database thing though. Could you tell me more about how this works.
Is it a red-on-sight system? Can you get off the list when you get on but still keep a criminal record?
