Smuggling Is Not Unlawful

[Hemlocke]

So you don't want lawfuls to smuggle, when there's more at stake as a lawful with a reputation to uphold than an unlawful that's shot on sight automatically. Which is why them being able to buy from the source and sell at the biggest endpoint makes sense. They can be pirated by the people they're buying it from just cause, any pirate along the way, shot by other militaries towards the endpoint, and shot at the endpoint. Meanwhile pirates are highly unlikely to pirate other pirates that they're allied with.

In summary, smoking something.

No, I have nothing against lawfuls in general smuggling. I'm saying that some lawful factions have no business buying said contraband because their RP doesn't allow for it anyway and those should be no-dock, instead of trying to make up new rules to sanction them.

If there is no justifiable reason for said lawful to dock there, they shouldn't be. Samura docking on Crete is justifiable, BMM or Bowex docking on Malta hardly makes sense.

There's plenty of reason for that actually, up until Loyola's takeover they were pretty close with each other as factions, and there isn't a new rule being made this is a poll to figure out who knew and who didn't by Champ probably to figure out if they need to reword it or not to make it clearer for everyone.
