Smuggling Is Not Unlawful

[Typrop]

Smuggling is by no means a universally unlawful action. Something that is legal in one house may not be illegal in another (read: Nox) for any particular reason. Thus, to categorize carrying cargo that is unlawful in one house but not another as a strictly unlawful activity across the board, and create ID lines explicitly restricting the transportation of such things on a given ID seems to me like something unnecessary, and is more or less covered by current house government function and player interaction.

It should remain outside of the terms of what is and is not "lawful," due to the fact there are cases where houses differ in what is and is not contraband, coupled with the fact that forcing ID lines for this sort of thing would run the risk of reducing roleplay freedom for players.

Imagine nobody playing the generic unlawful anymore, because for pvp we have international wars, for pve we have navies with the greatest warships for mission grinding, piracy sucks monkey balls, and smuggling is taken over by lawful corporations too, because they can field 5kers while unlawfuls can't.

This already exists. Samura openly ships Artifacts and Xeno Relics, sometimes with the balls to ship straight to Manhattan.
