Meanwhile...On Lok
Smuggler A leaves after acquiring a transport contract from Nym. Lttle does he know, He was indentified by a rat (ranger) leaving the stronghold in an unmarked private light frieghter. Smuggler A launches into space. *whew* Smooth sailing to Corellia!
Hyperspace........
Enters Corell sytem.....
*sets nav computer for Corellia Space Station*
Smuggler A reaches a close enough distance to make comms with space station....
"Freighter X, please stand by while Cor-Sec escorts you to station..."
What the.....?
*escorts arrive* (small fighters, lvl based on pilot skills)
"Freighter X, you were flagged leaving Lok, we are going to investigate your cargo for any "irregualrities"
OH NO!!
CorSec Conducts Investigation
(At this point, you can either: A: RUN!!!! and get chased and shot at (as well and not be able to land ANYWHERE, unless...you drop your cargo), or B: Hang on and pray they don't find anything.)
Lets choose B....
"Everything checks out ok, you are cleared to land."
Smuggler A lands....
Ground mission continues as however
Let's go with A.
"Freighter X, it is not a wise choice to run."
That's what you think.
Hyperspace.....
Enters Naboo system.....
Naboo Space station this is...Freighter X... request landing authorization.
"Freighter X, you will not be allowed to land at this station, we just got confirmation from CorSec that you are carrying illegal goods. RSF patrols will be diverted upon your arrival for intercept and detainment."
Uh..../transponderscramble
Naboo Station this is uh....Freighter Y....request landing authorization.
"freigher Y, you are cleared to land, but you must check your cargo manifest with RSF Transport Authority upon landing."
Just a little idea, doesn't seem that hard to implement.

That is a BRILLIANT idea, and would love it to be implemented. Great idea, and has so much potential!!

I completely agree! I've been a smuggler for two years now waiting for something like this...if only someone would listen...

Yes, sounds good. Also, if you take a look at other missions and things in space, there are already things where you get randomly jumped by pirates or rivals factions. I don't see why they can't just scavenge some code from those things. The only thing is getting the randoms to match your pilot skills instead of just basic pre-set tiers. As far as I'm concerned, smuggler missions should include ground only missionsand ground + space missions. The ones with space included should have better rewards. That way everybody is happy, and has something to challenge them.

Very nice, I'd love to see this, especially if the transponders were something we got from shipwrights, possibley modified by ourselves, with the more resources etc. put into it, the more likely it is to succeed..
/sigh
Something to hope for at least.
