Smuggling to Anarchy Factions

[Dbrn47]

I would like to suggest that smuggling to Anarchy factions should increase influence, or do nothing, if preferred, not decrease it. As Anarchy factions promote smuggling illegal goods or stealing them, black market effects should not degrade their hold on a station, it should in fact boost it. The way it is now, should I decide to be a criminal, I cannot make an Anarchy station my home as fencing goods there undermines their hold. Keep the way it is for non-Anarchy factions and have the influence go positive, or do nothing, for Anarchy factions.

Thank you.

Not knowing anything about the BGS things, this sounds like common sense. However: Logically, an Anarchy controlled system, would have no use for a black market; it would have an open market for the naughty stuff.

That is also true, but it sounds like it might be more work when considering stolen goods and the items that aren't purchased and aren't legal. That might require somewhat of a rework to the commodities market, but I'm just guessing here.

I agree with you, but I'd go further. Truth is that current "Black Markets" are not much more hardcore than Pawn Shops. I'd much prefer it if we had a 2nd-hidden-level of Black Market.....the one where you can sell, & buy, all of the most illicit commodities in that system.....but you can only find it by gaining reputation with the local Anarchy Faction!
