Smuggling in freighters

[pipsqueak]

you are missing the point. If they are made equal in terms, then there is no need for one to exist. They are two different ships and two different classes.

The problem is a huge corporate transports coming in with Cardi. That should be a no no...
(It is specially annoying when they make a point to announce in system chat when they made a successful delivery ... but that is my own personal peeve)

Personally I would prefer we take that option out for ships over 1k cargo, the reason being, in reality when they are discovered in soace, they sbould not be able to land and sell that cargo since ship that side can only land in designated huge hubs. This is the same reason you do not see 747's being used for cocaine smuggling by columbian drug lords.

No one is suggesting a frieghter will be making as much as a transport, but making 3.5 to 4 mil on a smuggling run to a main planet makes it interesting to all parties.

A bigger ship could still fly in with a load full of cardi, park itself about 15 k from manhatten and sell the cargo to freighters to sell at 90 percent the cost of delivery.

As for slaves, they can be added to the mooring portion of unlawful bases.

As for fortifying the small ships more? no... you want to fly like a smugglar, then accept all the risks that come with it.

You remove challenge and the fun goes with it....

PEACE
