Legality of Pilots as cargo

[Kahani]

Firstly, I really hope I didn't screw up with the preliminary search and make a new post for something that was already there. Oh, and I hope this is the right place to put this.

#2, the point. I've always been plagued by police forces after a fight "Scanning me for Contraband" as they so love to do and demanding the pilots' escape pods that I picked up from the battle. It gets a little irritating to have the police 'steal' my hard-earned pilots from me before I can even turn them in to the proper authorities. I was thinking then, after hauling my first 'perishable' load of cargo that it might be possible to do something of the same to the pilots. Perhaps make the pilots "Not Contraband" for a period of time represented by the item health and then, rather than disappearing like any other 'perishable cargo' would, be converted into a "Contraband" item that the police would then take from you (or try to).

Basically, you'd pick up a "Pilot" and it's health would degrade, until eventually it would reach zero. Once it did so, it would turn into "Pilot" or something to indicate that that pilot was now considered a runaway from the law or that you were unlawfully carrying a civilian or military officer.

The amount of time that it would take to degrade should be enough to get the pilot to a station (or preferably the nearest battleship, as the pirates are bought for more there).

I think this should be possible to implement within the game and I hope that if that's true, someone would come along and pick my idea up. Of course, if this is in the wrong place, please, someone with the powers to do so put it where it belongs...
