I'm totally new in freelancer, for the moment I'm level 12 and I have a civilian ID.
I was thinking of smugling but I do have some questions in that respect.
Do I need a specific ID to smugle or can I do it with any ID ?
Do I need to join a faction to smugle (if yes wich one will you recomand) or can I do it by myself ?
Can I dock everywhere when I smugle or is there some place where I can't go ?
What if I get caught with illegal stuff ?
What if I get caught with legal stuff but the police knows I smugle sometimes ?
What kind of stuff can I smugle in Discovery and where can I get it ?
I think it's all for the moment thanks in advance.
1) Yes theres a smuggler ID
2) yes, you can Smuggle alone, theres also the BLS which is the largest smuggling cartel in Sirius!.
3) With smuggler ID, i belive yes.
4) don't get caught.
5) Answer applies to question 4.
6) Cardamine, slaves, counterfeit software, marijuana, i think there are others, but those are the main items. I am not allowed to say where they are sold:).

And Alien Artefacts.
You can smuggle in a normal ship with a Trader ID too. Just don't ever say you are under the protection of unlawfuls...'cause that'd be naughty.
Let say I smugle cardamine, get scaned by the police but manage to escape and dock on a planet where I sold my illegal stuff and buy legal things.
What will be the attitude of the police with respect to me ?
I mean will I be considered as a bad guy for ever even if I have only legal stuff on my cargo after ?
Your civ ID is good up to lvl40 no matter what your doing. as far as I understand if your not seen docking on the planet with illegal goods then the patrols won't notify the dock police. There I think is the RP behind it...i don't know if im making any sense though...
I'm a smuggler (amongst other things) and if I'm nabbed by the police (player) I will not dock on a lawful base within that system, or any system I am subsequently chased into. Let's face it, there's no way in-game for anyone playing a copper or military type to stop a smuggler from docking at a lawful base so we smugglers have to give them some leeway as far as RP goes.

I don't believe this is correct. The Trader ID limits one to lawful acts only. Smuggling is unlawful therefor doing so violates that ID.
If you want to smuggle with a character over lvl 40, pick an unlawful ID.
