Usefullness of trading factions. Or uselessness rather...

[fencore]

I have no idea why other factions are scared to smuggle with tag on, it's an absolute blast.

Yeah, smuggling synth weed from FP14 down through Bretonia can be entertaining.

Another OSI ship that was running around the same time went through the Magellan-Leeds JH and let me know there was a BPA camping the JH running a checkpoint. When I got around to moving through that space later, I pulled right up on the Leeds JH in Magellan, and PM'd ahead about a "Hacker causing some trouble on the Bretonian side of Magellan." There was a LH in system, but I hadn't the foggiest what he was up to, but the BPA bought the line and jumped on through.

Soon as he did, I jumped to Leeds and had a nice head start while his jump systems recharged. He was maaaaaaaaad. :cool:

You can't have that kind of fun carrying legal cargo. I don't do it too often, though. Don't want to tarnish our good name, since both my Zoner transports are tagged.

I tried that again a few weeks later, the bloke didn't fall for it. Pity. Guess I'll just have to get more creative.
