Smugglers. They're a fun part of Discovery. However, some people are playing them rather poorly. For example, bringing Contraband to say Manhattan, with Police in Orbit, and even when told to stop and that their docking rights are revoked, they dock anyway. Annoying, to say the least, and I've had this happen to more then five times, and that's just me.
The Possible Solution
A command called /lock. What this command would do is basically deny docking to a target (and it's a targeted command. So you can't lock someone you can't see out.) Now, their docking would be denied by all lawful bases in the area for a period of about five minutes. That include's lawful corporation bases, ect.
I propose it works for Intelligence Agencies, (Ie: LSF, MND, ect), Military, and Police ID's, Now, I know that some people will say that it's prone to abuse, and frankly, it is. However, Alex had an excellent idea that, in hindsight is so obvious.
Make the command only work if the person is carrying Contraband. That way, you don't have idiots locking out honest traders for no reason.
Suggestions, Comments, Ect welcome.
Addendum: Now, some have raised some valid concerns about this killing of Smugglers. It's a good point, which is why I'd say increase the profits from Smuggling to compliment the much higher rewards.
Note: This is a rewrite of a previous first post I had, as such, some replies may seem off. They're probably basing their content on the previous first post.
