Smugglers and Mooring Rings

[Crossbow]

There's also a big BUT. Law enforcement entities sitting near the drop-off point of illegal commodities aren't working very well and won't even if the lockdown becomes possible.

They shouldn't sit still and go get the job done instead, patrol around Liberty, that means Texas, California and Colorado, too... that way traders are going to be much safer, smuggling harder and overall public reputation of police and navy would rise...

I agree with the above..... police or navy patrols in the other liberty systems are very rare, Wich gives pirates a carte blanche in the other system.



Is it possible to let the navy or police tag a caucht smuggler as unfriendly for lets say 30 minutes so he cant dock on any lawful base ?

It would be more of rp and the chances for smuggling wont chase much, if you are caught you have to flee

Disrupting a mooring fixture seems a bit harsh for me.

I am not talking that someone should be alowed to quick-dock when attacked by someone,

but if you get chased in a transport you will be outturned , docking in trade lanes sometimes take a retry, and the only light in end of the tunnel is a base where you would be safe. The chasing pirates disable the docking ring and you are screwed. like this there is nowhere to flee to ( it sounds very unfair to me and it works both ways smugglers and pirates have the same problem when a lawfull would disable the mooring fixture on a unlawful base)
