Blocking Jumpgates

[kingvaillant]

I see no problem whatsoever with blocking gates when you arent authorized to use your weapons against the target.

If the smugglers want to go OORP and take advantage of the enemy's ship class in order to move their cargo without being caught, then lawfuls should be able to take any action necessary to get around that rule.

Examples:
-Blocking gates/lanes (this was done in the singleplayer campaign so we know it's not really OORP)
-Taking screenshtos of the target's cargo and creating 'blacklists' for your faction. Basically creating a kill-on-sight list for smugglers that use this rule to get around larger ships.
-Giving bats/bots to smaller ships if needed in order to take out the enemy.

etc. etc.

Personally I think this crap about not being able to fine/demand cargo from traders in cruisers and up is ridiculous, at least when pertaining to lawfuls. Smugglers need to fear the lawfuls, and being one myself I'm a bit saddened that I dont get to play games with the lawful caps anymore =/

I share the same thoughts as you. Smuggling is very un-entertaining nowadays... I love challenge, now there is not much of it.
