Slaver ships tend to be old transports that are re-commissioned for human transportation.
Transports are just that, transports.
They have no designation unless they are made by unlawfuls. Unlawfuls do tend to have a certain reputation after all.
In reality, a lot of unlawfuls would use civilian ships themselves and do in game.
Slavery isn't really a business where you have very specialised ships flying around just for transporting slaves. You have a hodgepodge of things.
It's when organisations form and unification happens that more specifically slaver designed ships may start to appear, logically.
The SU are a step towards this.
All in all, Slavery is not an organised thing with one organisation controlling everything. People take what they can get and use it to their own means.
I could be a slaver in an eagle. After all, I may just want a few slaves for personal use, why would I want a giant ship for that? Or rather, how could I afford it?
A Slaver ID player does not HAVE to use the Slaver ship.
It's just the name of the ship.
Watch your naming (for the list) and you can simply and easily stay Anon.
Or change your name lots.
Oh and slaves in my Eagle? I could see that happening.
Quote:Why can a Slaver use Civillian Ships?
I dont think someone would sell a Civillian Ship to a Slaver. It looks really strange, there was a Slaver with a Shetland (Bretonia Train), and i was just like: "Uhm yeh" It looks really oorp and i think Smugglers/Slavers shouldnt have 5000 Transports :/
You're still thinking linearly. Become fuzzy. Your life will be so much more interesting.
A slaver doesn't look like a slaver. A Civilian simply means you are not a police or military.
A researcher is a civilian. A trader is a civilian.
Hence Civilian ships are open to all.
If you sell your BMW you don't care what they are going to do with it, after they buy it.
You care about actually selling it.

A smuggler doesnt have a written Smuggler on his forehead. All i want to know why the Smuggler isnt allowed to use civillian ships with more than 3,600 Cargo. They also want to stay unknown. But they mostly have to use Pirate Transports or Pirate Trains.

' Wrote: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.
Yes they can, just not over a certain size.
And therein lies the key.
A Slaver is a Slaver, they have to move people in large volumes. As such they need big ships.
A Smuggler is a Smuggler and a Smuggler doesn't not move illicit cargo in massive volumes. To RP a Smuggler properly you should have your hold full of crap you've hidden your 'real' cargo amongst. (This is just opinion not a rule or anything) A Slaver doesn't have that luxury. He can't go "Oh, officer, ignore the moving package its just a trapped air bubble.", "But it has arms", "Yes, the dreaded armed air bubble, do forgive me while I kick it!", "Thats not really an air bubble is it..."
Smugglers are small time haulers. Slavers are big time haulers.
