I actually disagree. Jumpgate closing etc, is well, metagaming. The game mechanics are balanced out and work well, IMO.
Smugglers shouldn't land at capital planets, and shouldn't get caught. They're there to fuel the RP scenes which contain the slaves, Cardamine, etc. Because if an outcast stealth lands on Manhattan in a tiny ship, and is under-cover, does he need a resupply of cardi? yes. And he gets it from the junker black markets, maybe even for free. And the smuggler who supplied him? He's living 1 more day under their watch because of it.
