For a tax or a license to be applied, each and every faction need to have a permanent presence on their systems. Let say it is not and will never be the case. So, we will pay because most of us want to RP but will never see the result as a real Codex. The issue all houses have to face with their Codex are simple. It is a roleplay agreement and only the players paying attention to the RP forum will act accordingly. Guess what the power traders will do ? Nothing. Unless KSP/KNF have a "permanent presence".
I tried a server where we were allowed to create only one character and be sure that "permanent presence" and roleplay take all their meanings (but it's boring to play always one char). Import/export taxes when entering/exiting a system could be applied in a very realistic way with a true "no exception".
The reality on the server is different : the pirates are the legal taxmen. Official tax from law enforcement will be great if piracy is becoming the exception. Thus avoiding to pay an official tax is a new form of smuggling (like going in morroco and coming back with tons of cigarettes). I will be pessimistic but no way this could happen.
Import/export tax, what is it ? Customs dues. How to reinforce ? Blockading entrance system. Look the result in Liberty...
For few days the "new thing" will be entertaining, and after that ? Well, people will need change, play more often another char in another faction etc.. This is how turn the wheel. Will only remains the "true hardcore RPer" dedicated to their favorite character and favorite faction. Hope it will be a lawful faction but i doubt.
Of course, i'm talking about legal trade run. The license system is just unfair, good for the faction bank but will change nothing in global RP. Only import/export tax can have an impact on ALL traders (registered or not on the forum) because law is the law as long its permanently Live on server. License is an administrative agreement, not a real control.
EDIT : otherwise, fines and explanations are goods, well thought according to the political situation in Kusari.
PS : if you read carefully the underlined words you have "to create only one character permanently live on server"... We have all a RL and it is the best life we can have on earth.
