Gun Running Mission

Dec 23, 2005 jerol link
I have a suggestion for a mission ... most likely out of Odia (Corvus). That would entail "gun running" -- that is, the (illegal) transport of contraband weaponry (that is, weapons your license level in the other systems would otherwise prohibit you from possessing).

If you choose to undertake such a mission, then any system security would automatically be hostile. Successful delivery of such weapons to the target system would make them available for sale at that particular station under the same conditions as they are in Odia. The number of contraband weapons and the type would be subject to the transporting vessels limits (both where cargo hold and level were concerned -- indeed, the choice of weapons carried would be entirely up to the Gun Runner).

This should be a "high risk, high reward" trading mission. I think making the trading run entirely dangerous would be a good idea.

I'd like to add my suggestion that all weapon and battery widgets can be transportable. So I could fill a moth with N3's and carry them down to Sedina. That'd be cool. (Nevermind being able to carry IBG cents and Valks down to Sedina)

I would add that if you get caught and killed you have permanent standing loss in the nation you were flying through.

It'd be better that your speed would be cut by 1/3 whilst doing such a mission and if you died then people could steal your "cargoes"

I love the idea of this. I could be a Valk god it sedina if we could do this.

no slow down, but make observer bots that scan ships as you enter more secured areas of national space.

This should have been done from the start of the game back in Alpha!!!!

This can't be a hard change to make!?!?!

It'd be cool to have NPC police ships that patrol the systems and scan you for contraband randomly like in Privateer except that these ones of course would actually be able to detect it!
