Lawful Pirating

[RickJames]

I don't see a reason to change the rule here. Smuggling is supposed to be dangerous. That's the greater part of what makes it fun.

I've no problem with it being dangerous. But being stopped by a Liberty BS with a Liberty Cruiser as backup while I am in an Adv. Train.....that's just....a bit silly.

Now I pop into the system and am swarmed by fighters, bombers, and a gunboat or 2...that's fun and interesting.

Another BIG issue I have with smuggling is that Liberty is almost the sole consumer. That has got to SUCK at times for the Lawfuls there. It also sucks for anyone who wants to play a smuggler some where else. It would be really nice if we had a few more contraband type cargo items. Each house or major criminal element should have something really juicy that's illegal everywere else. Bretonia space would have something Rheinland wants but has outlawed, and vice versa. Maybe give the Zoner bases in the Omega's something the Kusari people cant live without..but has been banned from Kusari space by the Goverment.

At the moment if you smuggle and want to make any money you take your contraband to Liberty..would be nice if you could smuggle things, and make a profit, to other places.
