Lawful Pirating

[Robert.Fitzgerald]

um... smuggling makes more than trading does most of the time. You have more dangerous cargo to move, but you get more cash per unit from it.

Myth. Cardamine, Artifacts and so forth make hardly any profit compared to Niobium Diamonds / Boron Beryllium / Engine Components Prisoners etc. It may have a high profit per unit, but it takes ages to complete plus you always get attacked by lovely Liberty Cruisers and so on...

Personally, I think it is unfair that Cruisers and Battleships can scan for cargo and destroy a smuggler. It's also quite OORP, when you think about it. If pirate capitals cannot pirate, for reasons of "waste of resources" and "unfairness", why doesn't it apply for lawful capitals? Honestly, why would the Navy waste their resources and credits by commissioning massive capital ships just to scan cargo? Fighters can do the same job, and probably just as effective. The capital ships that I see scanning for smugglers maybe just want a quick and easy kill with big turrets...
