5.3 - Hotfix 1

[Chenzo-]

- Changed: Rep buy requirements for commodities removed.

Hopefully it'll perform better when fixed. Cool concept otherwise. I'm guessing Smugglers could get an exempt from this mechanic, though? Or maybe give them a command of sorts to align their reputation with the faction they want to smuggle for.

I absolutely love the idea of the cargo being restricted by the ID you carry.

For example, how much easier would it have been when we all first started if when on a lawful ID and trying to buy something which was RP Contraband for that ID if a console message came up saying something like "Sorry, you can't purchase "X Commodity" because "Faction ID" wouldn't ever touch "X Commodity" - To haul "X Commodity" Please use another character from "X Faction"


On the front of "Smuggler ID" - They are super rare but not unseen. The simple fix in my opinion is to allow it's neutral rep to all, add a line to the ID which states "Can carry up to 3600 of any other commodities other than contraband".

If a smuggler is taking legal cargo to an illegal/unlawful destination- it's still smuggling. The 3600 cargo limit for the goods is purely to fall in line with not smashing other defined ID's- 3600 seems to be the Freelancer one(or is it 4300?).

Sanction for carrying more than 3600/4300 of "non illegal goods" could be that you simply lose the ID via admin intervention.

I'd love to have one or two units of lots of random commodities to "hide" what I'm actually smuggling... or am I smuggling? Muahahahhaha
