Couple of questions...

Ok, I've just seen this thread. Let me attempt to explain.

Discovery RP is for role play as a faction or individual. It is NOT a "lets all become NPC's" server. Unlike NPC's we have memories, and like the military (or more likely, the police) in real life, if you commit a crime, we will catch you for it, whether or not you are doing it at that very precise moment. So, if you dock after being scanned with a hold full of drugs, I would have thought you would realise that undocking would be a rather foolish thing to do.

Smuggling is a risky business. You risk your cargo everytime you run, and if you get caught, you go on the black list.

Now, blockades, I hear you scream... Think about it. If the military realise that there are alot of drugs coming in in on particular area, what do you think they would do? Walk away and carry on elsewhere? Don't think so. They lock it down. They prevent it in anyway possible. Seems like a sensible thing to do really.

And now about cruisers/battleships... DON'T SMUGGLE WHEN A BATTLESHIP IS ON!! Thats my message of the day. Do you think that the military is going to care if a destroyer comes across a little fishing boat full of drugs? "Oh noes! It's not a fair fight! Let's leave them to it..."

Have a little sense. And stop trying to make it easier for yourself to smuggle. It's supposed to be risky. That's real roleplay. And quit whining if you get blown up. It happens to everyone.
