Rule Discussion: Smugglers and Lawful interaction, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4,

[E X O D I T E]

Caught by four lawfuls and ordered to pay a fine and dump the cargo? Sure, pay the fine and then waltz off stage left ala Snagglepuss while still holding the contraband. Documented here (with updated images soon, I hope). That's not roleplay, that's being obnoxious to the other player(s). You/he gets away with it because enforcing consequence is a PITA in this game. None of the lawful players enjoyed any of it, though. If that's what qualifies as "ar-pee" then you can keep it.

Going off on a tangent about your family for 30 minutes is not smuggling RP. Silently thrusting away is not RP.

All I see from the one I looked at is salt over him keeping his cargo by doing exactly what any other smuggler would have done by a quickdock point. He pulls a slight of hand on a grand scale in-RP and then you complain about it later. Props to him for bamboozling the people who got complacent.

I've done that and gotten away with it. Hell, it's a common practice for solo smugglers to pay the fine and drop a portion of their cargo and hope the lawfuls don't check.

In short, your attitude is literally communicating to me that you want to restrict smuggler RP to either "quickdock", "cooperate and lose everything", or "not smuggle at all". It may not be your intent, but that is the vibe you are giving off.

Edit: Praxor lives in Australia, so what is late for you is perfectly normal time to him. We don't all live in the same time zone, so it's not fair to paint him with the same brush as the late-night powertraders.
