Contraband
Anyone wanna explain to me why innocent little Alien Artifacts are considered Contraband when Light Arms aren't???
I was at planet Crete when i realized i've never been to the Colorado System (woops), so i thought i'd take some Artifacts from Crete to Planet Manhattan.. on the way there, the Rheinland Police scanned my cargo.. i thought, oh well, no biggie, then they said "I got something here, alright drop it!"... me being the devious pirate that i am, i pressed cancel and high-tailed it out of there before they could say anything more, and luckily, i made it out and my Rep with them remained un-harmed... i didn't stop at any more bases and just continued my way to Manhattan blah blah blah blah.... i finally went to explore Colorado and i found one of the Xeno Bases. One of the rumors said something about transporting Light Arms to Nome i think it was, another Xeno Base. I thought sure why not, so i loaded my cargo hull with 70 Light Arms and i continued to explore... thinking they were considered contraband as well, i thought i'd try my luck and go into the trade lanes... when a Liberty Police Cruiser scanned my cargo, i quickily targeted her and prepared to open fire when "Okay you have nothing i'm looking for".............. uhh....
so why is Smuggling weapons from a Criminal base to another Criminal Base not illegal when smuggling Artifacts is.... i mean.. sure during the story line missions it made sense, but it's over.... what's the point?
