Summary
It would be nice if there was some pirate NPC demand for illicit goods (Drugs, Slaves, Ectoplasm, Toxic Waste, etc) in the Empire space where they are outlawed, either through some semi-random missions or repeatable Epic Arc like structures. Succesful completion could eventually translate in a standing gain, thus giving players the opportunity to repair pirate standings.
The semi-random missions could request a particular type of drug and quantity, which the player will have to procure within a limited amount of time. Agents that grant these missions could be placed at NPC deadspace or random exploration sites.
As secondary part, other players should be able to participate by exposing contraband with a cargo-scanner, upon which the criminal is allowed to be shot at, even in high-sec. Rewards could include a small security status gain, faction standing gain or loyalty points gain based on the total value of contraband destroyed (linked to value to prevent people shooting their own alts).
If there are too few opportunities to scan and intercept smugglers, then this could possibly be adjusted by having the drop-off zone in a deadspace pocket with an acceleration gate (Similar to FW objectives), the last part cannot be warped that way.
Goals
- Introduce smuggler career to the game
- Provide use for contraband goods
- Provide some opportunities for more free-form PVP
- Way to receive/recover pirate standing
