' Wrote:I'm tired of spending what little game-time I have trying to chase down smugglers and traders using our guard system as a highway when you shouldnt be there in the first place - it's out of your zone of influence, and -nobody- should be going into any guard system without approval from the faction in control of it - and I can guarantee you that no black squadron member will approve cardamine smugglers moving through the system.
For someone with such little time to play the game you seem to have a enormous amount of time to flood the forum, but enough of pointing out the obvious let's get back on subject. Your hostile PM's to a unknown vessel that was a Zoner ID, Zoner Tag, Zoner ship with Zoner weapons traveling through Minor space to Delta while you sat comfortably safe in O-100 wasn't appreciated. Something about allies and stuff, who knows. A change of attitude might lead to better interaction with other characters or at least that's been my take on it.
As for the smugglers deal with it, if you are a Order character and they are in the Guard system then stop them, or you can let them go on their merry way and keep sending menacing PM's to random ships. Point being, their smuggling, much like in real life if one does not get caught it never happened. Sometimes the most unlikely and unexpected of routes is the safest one.
