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

[Croft]

The biggest roadblock to this idea came from the Leeds smuggler dock, if memory serves it was a testbed for freighter smuggling but ran into a serious issue, profit. The proximity of resale points for contraband meant that no major gain could be made in terms of pricing, basically bringing it down to standard trading levels.

Awhile back I proposed using an admin controlled PoB instead of the resale points, big transports would fill the station and freighters sell it on, all player driven and totally removed from the standard base drama with the added bonus of allowing the smuggler docks to be viable. There was some mild interest and screaming but sadly when it came to gather community support it was like getting blood from a stone and naturally was left to rot in the backwaters of the forum. The figures are rough and outdated but I think if both ideas were used together it may actually achieve something.
