...no but really why isn't smuggling from unlawful to lawful bases the most profitable system in the game? It'd make things fun.

Remove FR5's, allow engage on sight on smugglers for lawful factions. You get big fun

Smuggling from an unlawful to a lawful base already is the most profitable trade network in the game.
And I agree that a FR5 against smugglers is a bad idea. Too many people around here think that punishing people is more fun than interacting with them. As a pirate, when I rob a trader I hope he does come back, not that I robbed him of so much that he changes his route and avoids me from now on. It's too bad that lawfuls don't feel that way about smugglers.

I was thinking even better than mining. And let's get on this no more FR5 idea

I would smuggle if I knew I had a fighting chance when encountering lawfuls, instead I must completely avoid them because I'll have to make a new ship if I see them, instead of fighting or running for my life (which is way funner than logging on and finding out your ship is now useless).

If lawfuls want to stop smugglers, why don't they patrol the lanes and gates and holes to catch them before they're shooting for home base?
