I have not seen it up close.. but you get 4-5 pirate trains and "smuggle".
The problems:
1. If they stop you in a GB it gets killed, they need at least 3 fighters and some bombers..and they need to know their job. You are in a way abusing the rules since they can't bring Cruiser or BS which would be perfectly in RP to do.
2. If you decide to "smuggle" this way you should land only on pirate bases, 4 pirate trains landing at Houston with full load of cardamine would certainly not go unnoticed.
Two months ago there was thread How to improve trading and community in general gave advice to traders to join into convoys and shoot the hell out of pirates trying to pirate them.... Well we introduced convoy runs...
Yesterday we encountered in California gunboat with fighters escort (3 minimum) but I don't remember exactly how many... Upon jumping in California they opened fire and we just responded... we took down Gb and 2 fighters... I don't see problem here....
Rest of this i will explain in PM i'll send to you...
