How do Junkers get away with stuff?

[Derkylos]

Because Junkers will turn in more dangerous criminals in exchange for a bit of leeway.

Even if this doesn't happen due to game restrictions (there simply aren't enough pirates around).

The problem here is that you think junkers are a single entity, like a house corporation or a military organization. They're not.

Junkers are a collection of independent, quasilegal ship captains held together by a roughly unified sense of business. Every junker captain is independent of the faction as a whole. There is no heirarchy or chain of command (at least not outside of the 'official faction' junkers). Junker bases are seperate entities and have no direction relation to each junker vessel operating from that base aside from the fact that it's a berthing point for those ships.

Responsibility for the actions of a junker come down to that captain and his ship, not the faction as a whole. One junker gets caught, it's all on him. There's no legal basis for a house government to take action against the entire group because one independent captain was caught smuggling or pirating.

I mean, they're being caught all the time smuggling and housing Rouges on their bases.

How come nobody in Liberty decided that they're criminals and didn't fr5 the entire faction?

because that would ruin the game and fun lol. Fr5 is a sanction. Why punish ?
I did a whole thread on how I see FR5ing a bad thing and only for last resort.

FR5 is roleplay consequece. It's inRP sanction for being a bad person and getting caught for it.

Were fools to make war on our brothers in arms.

If you FR5 every smuggler you see then there will be no smugglers left and you will be bored.
