Embargoes

[Athenian]

There's a lot of potential in the interdicting of cargo, whether it's part of a wartime blockade or embargo.

The wide powers of the military i.d's. are probably a little too far-reaching. And that is why police factions find it so hard to generate interest or maintain activity. Why play a policeman when the military i.d. allows me all of the police i.d. and more?

The BPA interdicts smugglers, believe it or not this actually involves stopping and re-directing people to other stations, dishing out fines that aren't in the millions, and so forth.

A universal list of contraband is one thing; allowing players to deicde what is contraband is another. It might be possible for someone to create a decent rp excuse for a cargo of artifacts (which someone did once - said they were works of art for a exhibition on Cambridge). Once a lawful player is prepared to RP a bit and not use the guns as the solution, then the possibilities increase.
