i havent owned a large ship yet so i cant comment
if smuggling were more profitable thats all i would do to make money and it would be so much more fun than trading. In real life, smugglers would make more money per ton than legitamate trading, the downside is higher risks. I wish that were true in game, it would also make this feature more useful. Sure, it may be easier to get past scanners with a sidewinder now. Problem is the lack of cargo space that the ship has means its still not a viable option. I like this feature, it seems logical, but without increasing profit its useless
