Assembly Hall

Have you ever run drugs through empire? Then you know that at just about every gate, you get this EPICALLY ANNOYING prompt asking if you want to hand it over to the fuzz.

I can't think of anything more annoying and unnecessary and dangerous as this (maybe a warning prompt everytime you enter lowsec that never goes away). Running drugs through empire in a cruiser or lower is almost no risk, but this stupid prompt stops you at every gate. If you lag at the prompt or arn't on the ball, you can lose your ship or the drugs for no reason.

Why would I willfully hand over the 100mil in pills I just bought?

At the very least make it Do not show again.

If you want to make drug running dangerous, just make possession of pills a defacto reason for empire navies to attack you.

Add the tickbox but make drug running more like 'real life':

- Random chance based on system security that police scans cargo.
- If contraband is detected, roadblocks are set up (can't dock and can't jump) and perpetrator is flagged as suspect.
++ Handing over drugs at this point removes roadblock/flag as well as a hefty fine.
- Criminal now has to shake pursuers (must not be on grid with police for 3 minutes or so) by warping around (safes required, ie. preparation) or kill all the officers present at time of initial cargo scan taking a sec. status hit.

Then:
- Add drugs to market database.
- Allow affiliations with pirate organizations (Serpentis etc.) that decrease chance of scan.
- Redo low-sec to give pirate affiliated organizations bonuses to drug manufacturing at POS (new and improved please).

But first things first; There should not be a pop-up without a 'do no show this again' tickbox!
