Smugglers and Mooring Rings

[AdamantineFist]

This is RP not real life. Compairing and ocean liner to a space vessal is well... no comparison. Space is vast, and 3 dimensional. Water fairing craft are not. A nation's water's is very small, a galaxy is not.

I would like to point out that the problem here is not that space is big. It's that the port authorities should be stopping smugglers from landing, or, at the very least, arriving at the landing pad with some big guns and asking for all your contraband, then ordering the men with guns to escort you to the nearest detainment centre. This doesn't seem to be happening, but should. In fact, the whole point of a mooring fixture is that the ship MOORS. It doesn't even land. It is sitting there, in space, completely unprotected. You should be able to stop them logically, especially seeing as the NPCs are able to do so by making everything go red and shoot at you if you don't drop your contraband.
