Quote:Not true ... you are taking this to an extreme sir. IF ... and I repeat ... IF ... the smuggler/trader has an Outcast ID and IFF ... he's enemies of Corsairs ... NOT necessarily an enemy of Order. Read the infocard ... you'll see that Outcast are not listed as enemies of Order. And just because you are allied with Corsairs doesn't mean you share their enemies and allies. Now ... the reality is that smugglers like mine do not have an IFF ... they are unaffiliated. And they bear the generic Smuggler ID. So ... I don't "work for" anyone but me. So my reputation with Order is NEUTRAL ... and is perfectly within role play to be so. Now ... if I understand the way contraband is setup in the game ... NPCs respond when they actually "scan" the smuggler/trader. If they don't scan ... they don't know they're smuggling. And if they do scan and demand you drop the cargo ... and you don't ... then they go red. Now quit trying to make some rule up that doesn't exist. There's no rule that says a smuggler carrying cardamine through Omega 100 is illegal and sanctionable. Maybe in your head it should be ... but reality says ... YOU have to secure your borders. Now get over it and do your job instead of calling on admins to do it for you.
Again, you're missing the point of what I said.
I dont give a rat's ass if you're allied with the order, nuetral, or hostile - you arent allowed in omicron 100. It is not a normal system, it's a guard system, a military base - they dont let any 'nuetral' civilian just walk through unhindered. If you arent an order pilot you have no place being there, no matter what your reputation with the faction is.
As for the scanning - that's a problem with the npcs right now. After killing a cardi smuggler the other day in 100, I patrolled the system three times, passing by dozens of npc patrols, and not a single one scanned my cargo hold for the cardamine I had tractored in. That doesnt mean the NPC's shouldnt shoot anyone without an order ID in that system, however.
Quote: Omicron 100 has no trade lanes ... so they are by default flying through open space. And there's PLENTY of open space to avoid patrols and bases. If they happen to pass by Isis and don't get scanned ... who's fault is that? Again ... the Order is more concerned with the Nomad infestation than a small time smuggler. If you want to take the Order beyond what the traditional plain vanilla story line says ... you'll have to enforce it yourself. But the Order really doesn't care about contraband as much as the houses do ... with exception of course to Nomad ships/equipment and artifacts.
I dont think you get what we're talking about here - omicron 100 is not omicron minor, the Isis is in minor, not 100. You're thinking of an entirely different system.
Omicron 100 is covered in a near solid asteroid field. There are small 'pockets' of space around the stations/planets, and there are tunnels inbetween those and the jump holes. In order to get from the omicron minor jump hole to the omicron major jump hole, you have to fly directly past battleship apophis and lisbon station - there isnt any avoiding it.
By the way, it's really annoying tryign to read your comments inside a quote box.
