How exactly ? You come across with pilot carrying contraband, so you can "pirate" him ? Hey you smuggler, pay me 3 millions or I will kill you ?

It's semantics at this point, but I think you can 'fine' him.

Of course, a bunter can't do anything so long as there aren't any bounties out, and even then, bounties must be followed to the letter - so unless a bounty states that one can fine others for contraband, no dice.

Interesting question. I assumed this meant that Hunters could act like pseudo-police, and would turn in 'evidence' to convict certain criminals.

There was a sig here, once.

What about RPing a corrupt BH?;)

There is NO problem that can`t be solved by the use of high explosives.

Thats called getting a pirate ID (or some other unlawful one) and RPing how you USED to be a Bounty Hunter.

IMHO at least

I'm not sure this may be the case. They are, to a certain extent, pesudo-police.

Ah, my apologies. Well, the clause allowing for the interdiction of contraband is on a separate line after all.

Thankfully, most houses already have bounties on contraband carrying vessels
