I would have done things differently if I were spazzy. This is kinda dumb because it just encourages people to borderline metagame/powergame because they would wipe enemy players out and the log onto their smuggers to drop their stuff off.
Actually, that is literally what the free is recommending to do.
It encourage people to camp. It encourages sour encounters. It encourages minimal rp and makes it into a pure pvp event with juicy traders to kill.
I would have just said that if you dock then the smuggler wins. End of story. Of it undocks it cannot be attacked from the past engagement.
