Adding Pirate IFF'd Satellites to the Darkside of (Capital) Planets

[SnakThree]

Lyth, the only smugglers who are getting FR5 are the ones who ignore cops whatsoever. Thus, they are not adding anything else than being ambient and silent trade ships with illegal cargo.

All it takes is for a dubious individual to take leadership police faction and we have the same situation of a few years ago where a certain (RFP?) leader would FR5 people for the sake of FR5ing people. Right now, things are only tranquil because the players involved have agreed to keep it as such. Mechanically though, there's a problem. This solution fixes that problem.

You forget that FR5 requests goes through staff that has to pass judgement as well. Your solution creates more problems than FR5 threat.

As I said, I have been smuggling for years with illegal ship using lanes and I have been shot down only once for not cooperating with demand to drop 1 contraband unit. Stupid of me? Yes. Have I been FR5ed? No.
