' Wrote:Not to mention even if they escape you, you will have had time to screen shot their cargo as proof of their crime to post in the law enforcement message dumps and thus be able to use it to stop them on sight to fine them the next time you see them. I am sorry but too often law enforcement try to fine or destroy a smuggler without any proof they commit a crime. You just get told "I know you had contraband" if the cop could even tell me how much i had i would pay the fine and get some RP out of it.
But most just want the cash or the kill and that's all.
We DO screenshot it. They say "Scanner malfunctions" "What Artifacts" and anything along the same lines. We can't KoS them because that's against the rules. We can't fine them if we don't catch them in the act, and that includes if they dock, sell and take off even if we took a screenshot, because unlike pirates we get sanctioned. To go with LA-384's rather accurate description, most of the time they just cruise by and give us the finger.
