Just thought I'd share this idea before ROTW goes live and the forums are flooded with bug reports and rants. For the next expansion they should institute space piracy ranking system. I've always loved how you can dock with disabled freighters and steal their cargo but you never get anything. They can make it so ships carrying alcohol will have stealable brandy and transports carrying electronics would give you ship components etc. etc. Whenever you steal freight you gain points of infamy, raising your rank from upright citizen, to miscreant, to scally wag, to cut throat and so on. What will keep everyone from going crazy with piracy is that after a certain point the freighters can call in for help from local security forces. The more infamous you are, the more ships arrive, until you have to group to survive. The greater the infamy, the greater the reward. To counter your infamy it may be possible to install jamming equipment so reinforcements can't be called. If wanted a pvp focus, instead of calling for npc security there could be a systemwide call for players alligned with the freighter, and successful defense of the freighter could mean cash for players.

Anyway, justthought I'd share with the class.

Might wanna add something sorta like jedi visibility. You blow up a few ships. Your local RSF/CSF Pilot goes to a space station and check for anyone that need blasting.

All I can say is "AAARGH MATEYS! Thar be good loot in bowels of that thar freighter. Lets gooo git her! Just watch out for those scally wag s'curty fo'ces cuz they ca' be o sneaky bunch."

Since the actual run has the possibility of being quite quick I would suggest a couple things:

- Reduced non-combat speed for the smuggler, so pursuit has a chance

- Not only have the station advertize it, but anyone of opposing faction, or the side of the law (Imperial) that are in system get a message when said pirate enters the system. Just a "<name> has entered Endor Space at Red Sin Chimera and is currently wanted for smuggling. Aprehend suspect, if suspect flees, use of deadly force is authorized."

I think it could be a really funside game
