Would be the same as the Smuggler. They would be glad about having a bigger Transport which is Civillian. And also: Big Transports already scream "Come here and Scan me", every Navy, LSF or Police ship scans my Planetform ship. And isnt it obvious that i dont smuggle?

And i've never seen any Smuggler landing on a Lawful base.

I could jump peoples face if anyone shouts at me "SLAVER!" when I am around with an empty hold.
Same thing like the Smuggler ID, or flying the "Slave Liner". Who gave it this name anyway? Its an old transport, so why is it automaticly a slavership?

Making a decent profit with a smuggler is hard, but its even harder with a Slaver.
Few RP routes, and ONLY those routes. A Smuggler can get food if the cops are closing down certain systems.
A Smuggler just can wait until the blockade gets some holes.

The cool thing is the "Human piracy". It works sometimes, but there are many transports around without a single crewman onboard.
Hunting Spa&Cruise is the best way to get some new slaves, but also useless since you cant sell them with profit.

So a 5k transport seems still ok and the arguments "not beeing so suspicious" is good. Blend in, hide or avoid.
Having the letters "Slaves" when scanning cargo of a ship is an unrealistic RP advantage. Normaly you would get "human lifeforms" and order them for an inspection to a base.

So having 5k transports with the Slaver ID seems totaly in RP.
Its not about the ammount of cargo, but the shiptype.
If someone wants to Slavetrade with an Eagle, why should that be OORP?

A Container transport, a Train or something similar is different due to the Cargo containers instead of a closed bay. This kind of human smuggling is indeed odd in my eyes.

I see, but a 5K Transport isnt able to pirate someone anyway. So the only thing would be to trade.

A Slaver cant wait?

First, no one would do it, and an Eagle is supposed to have only human on board. And this one is sitting in the cockpit. He can pirate Human Beings with a 5k Transport then though.

But can a Slaver trade with Cardamine then? Because the ID could be abused by someone smuggling. The Slaver ive met was pretending to be a Junker and hauling Cardamine. But i just got the thought: Arent Slaver ruining probably Humans which can be slaves? I dont think a Slaver wants to sell Slaves which are dieing without Cardamine.

The Slaver ID is civilian because of the said reasons. A slaver should have one big advantage: secrecy. So big civilian ships are okay.

To all the lawfuls, cops, whatsoever out there: stop scanning ships and judging the pilots by their ID. Just RP and see what evolves.

I still say if the Slaver has secrecy the Smuggler should also become it for bigger ships.

If you want to be a Junker get a Junker ID, dont get another ID for a big ship then pretend to be a Junker.

I wouldn't boast that I'm a slaver, although.

I want to get off Mr. Igiss' wild ride.

I think it depends on the Slaver in RP really. The thing is, they can ship Cardamine from Malta, but only to an unlawful base. They can't sell the stuff on Manhattan [something I've seen one or two do, actually]...

I think the Slaver is like most other criminals in that he is ruthless to get his credits. He ships slaves where he needs to, and brings the Cardamine back as it makes good money. If money is all he's after, why wouldn't he ship Cardamine?

I aim to make a Slaver sometime, actually, so I'm interested in seeing others thoughts on the nature of such characters.

Well the only argument you people have is the Secrecy, but any Smuggler would also like to have Secrecy. The smuggler doesnt want to be found by the Police, and so does the Smuggler. So i really see no point why the Slaver is able to and the Smuggler not.

You obviously don't play very much, or you haven't sat by Manhattan for more than two minutes.

Don't compare two groups when you don't have a clue how one of them operates.

I have played 470 hours according to my XFire. One of my Characters spends like 5 Minutes in front of Manhatten and i never saw any Smuggler there. I have a Smuggler, and why should i take any risk and fly to Manhatten when i have Buffalo?

A normal Smuggler would also take a Civillian Ship like a Slaver. But with the ID he cant. So tell me why he cant and dont tell me i dont play much.
