Newcomer / Intro Yet another newb question.

Another fun RP that will keep you poor can be to never do anything illegal...
Considering the fact that unlike the real world, illegal activities in Elite usually make less money than legal ones, I don't think this is a factor.

I mean, if anything, just keeping to illegal stuff like killing traders and selling their stuff on BM will keep you poor for longer than any legal activity bar flying around aimlessly.
 
The other "useful" think that a stockpile of illegal goods can be used for, is BGS work. Selling stolen goods to a black market slightly decreases the influence of the faction that owns the black market. Its one of the few guaranteed ways to create negative influence on demand that doesn't involve massacring innocent NPCs.

But since carrying around a stockpile of illegal cargo is generally inconvenient, both in terms of unwanted police attention and in terms of taking up valuable storage space that could be put to better use, it's generally only something a fleet-carrier-owner can afford to indulge in.

Meh, I tend to get high rep with a faction then do assassinations. But granted, killing pirates can be more profitable than that.
