I can fully understand your RP stand on slave trading. I won't take missions that involve taking out traders, as a form of my own, moral role play. At the same time, I am not, or want to be; a pirate. (and no, I am not saying your chosen profession is morally wrong. Far from it, this IS a game, pirates ARE a part of this game and a good, honest carrier path within this game. ) My role play in the game, is to have said, I never did harm; to the assumed innocent. As to the abundance of slave transport missions. It is easy money, 9 times out of 10, but is it also a big risk to reputation standings, everywhere you go. So I will weigh up the risk, every time, I see, such a mission. If it is to an outpost, I'll often take the risk, but to a star-port, it is not worth the risk to rep, or the fine. I still have to perfect the, speed run to the letter box and when I get it right, with out scans, 10 times in a row, then I'll think about 'smuggling' in it purest form: As running any goods to outposts, is not considered 'smuggling, to the purists, of the game. As to the lack of other smuggling mission options? It is true, slaves seem to be the most common at the moment and there needs to be others added.
