pretty sure a hegemon mining for itself can get more money than a smuggler can without paying a dime for it.
and all those reasons you stated, they just all equal 'activity'. oorp docking? that means somebody else actually bothered logging in to catch sombody, probably more than one person. at least one of those people will either make a communication thread to their superiors or to the individula in question telling them to pay a fine, or both.
not everyone can play at the low activity times, some people have no choice but to play in the low activity times, so again who cares about this? it is completely uncontrollable.I do wonder why you care that other people can make money?
also not taking action based soley on the fact that somebody will complain is just the absolute wrong way to do things, because somebody is -always- going to complain no matter what happens, so with that attitude we may as well just lock up the forums, and everyone uninstalls their game.
FR5's arent even difficult to bypass because id's rephack everything automatically, somebody gets FR5'd all they need to do is mount 1 maybe 3 different ID's in sequence and everything is fine again. it also makes those factions doing the FR5'ing more vigilant, and slightly increases activity.
people get sanctioned all the time, this is not an acceptable reason for inaction.
and since its already a pretty well documented fact that the apocalypse didnt happen when cruisers and battleships were first allowed to engage transports like everyone (Even me) thought it would, i find your sudden choice of caps insta killing transports as a point of debate pretty meaningless.

I do need quote this though, because what person in a role play sense, is going to use the lanes while carrying ileagal goods. there are invisible smuggling lanes through open space which are actually pretty obvious. are you saying that smugglers need to use the lanes?
