' Wrote:If you don't want to get FR5ed as a smuggler, either:
- Don't get caught
- If you do get caught, drop the cargo when asked.
You're really in no position to be complaining that you've been declared hostile to lawful factions once you've been caught and disobeyed.
Exactly. And on top of that, I don't wanna have to pay for a bounty every time I catch a smuggler with my police officer. I may have a lot of money, but going by how many embargo-breakers I catch just passing Planet New Tokyo, I'd run out within a month. And let's face it. Bounties are fun, and create some interesting RP opportunities for a wide variety of people, but it's not going to stop the smuggler from smuggling even for an instant.
FR5s, however, give some sense of an actual, lasting punishment for the lawbreakers. If you wanna get back on good terms with the people that FR5'd you, talk to them and work something out (preferably in-RP).
That's how I'm going to run things once I get the KSP criminal database organized and get around to FR5ing all of our lawbreakers. You wanna land on our bases again? Give us a good reason to let you. Maybe you'll have to pay a fine. Maybe you'll have to give us a formal apology. But I'll be willing to reverse your hostile repninja, providing that you prove your worthiness to the KSP.
And, like Hielor said, if you don't want to face the consequences of breaking the law, don't get caught!
