It was implemented on planet Leeds only, but if used on a wider scale you could have freighter only docking ports on house capital planets that could buy the commodities for a higher price, letting freighters get more bang for their buck smuggling wise.... something like Junker docking satellite on the far side of Manhattan for instance.
I feel that this is an excellent compromise, if each home (NY, NB, NL, NT) system had a single freighter only dock point that was also exempt from the FR5, and tied in with an increase in profit risk, would make running freighters exciting, and bring more smuggling to a direct point, which would give lawfuls and unlawfuls a chance to collect the funds from the increased profit risk. (from pirating the ships, or collecting the cargo to sell)
