Who else is here not to make money? The reason I think admin intervention would be necessary is that they have the power to boost your bank balance.
All that needs to be done is for Igiss or another coder to enter an "RP Item" into the commodities list. Then the admins can grab a player (name from a hat style) and tell them, take this commodity from here to here and you will receive a very large reward. of course, this has to be pre-planned so that everyone knows and the interested parties within their RP characters can decide, right, I'll pirate that and collect the reward myself, or I'll agree a share of the reward as a protection fee and guard the transport.
The difference between what you do and what I'm proposing to be done, is that you do it privately unless a pirate wanders along and decides to pirate. My way, the reward and the risks are also much greater because everyone knows and can get a pop.
