Implying anybody who wants to keep their sanity would haul in a Hegemon.

Or more likely file it as 1.3 and be mad about it, cause Admin work for stupid reasons, detracting their attention from valid things, and causing more trouble after sanction is out.

Me.
Quote:I do wonder why you care that other people can make money?
Because there are ways of making money that add more and there are some that add less to the interaction levels on the server. Smuggling adds barely anything as good smuggling TM avoids all interaction. From a gameplay perspective it is counter-productive to give it perks and encourage something that does not benefit the gameplay.
Quote: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.
It's against the rules.
And only untagged indies can do this.
But ye, power-smuggling, on untagged indies, making 14k at low activity hours.
That will totally be the way to make money while avoiding to add anything to the roleplay experience on the server.
Quote:[...]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.
That statement was linked to sanctions resulting from no-rp smugglers who crashdock into lawful bases while caps try to stop it, but can't be fast bc they have to give roleplay. And no, we do not need more sanctions.

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?
Badly worded, agreed.
Let me reword it: We do not need more hidden, invisible activity because it adds nothing to the game. Clearer?
