Recently I've been thinking that is it really in the spirit of smuggling people running 5k transports as smuggling? To me the idea does not fly that well. I've always held the image of smuggling to be rather small time operation. As it is now people will fly around hold full of cardi/slaves/counterfeit sw/organs with those 5k ships.

So I think limiting the smuggling to freighters would be good. And maybe even make some good only to be carried by smuggler ID.

And now the whole what is legal and what is not is far from clear. Sure the different houses have different laws, but to me it's just a mess since I can't intuitively say is the person I have 2 seconds to scan is doing something illegal. To me Sirius should have common contraband items. Maybe even put the word Contraband there in the commodity info card where it says 'perishable' now.

Your thoughts?

Flying under radar.
