Maybe you want a reputation for background and the ID to define your activity.
A Zoner repped smuggler--maybe down on hard times and desperate. addicted to cardamine.
A Corsair trader--fallen from grace and avoiding home.
etc. etc.
So..what DID you smuggle?
marijuana, sometimes other drugs. thank you for noting the ex part as others did not. The point was not to brag but to illustrate that while people believe doing the most realistic thing is roleplaying, it is not.
Back to the subject at hand, I cant believe that people are proposing any of the following items of inbred sillyness:
1. most smugglers are OORP
2. there are too many indy traders
3. the id tag system doesent work
1. as long as there is contraband, people will find a way to sell and buy it. People hollow out their babies to smuggle drugs IRL.
2. How many mom and pop shipping companies are there compared to national/international brands? Its thousands to one at least.
3. The RP system here is well thought out and works excellent considering what the coders were given to work with. As i mentioned earlier, people doing an OORP act (not patroling, sitting in front of one planet) saying that they wish they could do their job when they arent even trying is utter BS. How dare someone ask me to change my RP when theirs is poor at best in the first place.
I would love to see more faction traders RPing out there. I just joined Bowex and it is a very good RP opportunity. However I found out 2 things early on in my careeer here on Disco:
a. everybody doesn't roleplay, nor does everybody RP the same.
b. splitting hairs will give you grey ones. Do your best and move on.
