Smuggling and planets

Smuggling has long been a 'cool' profession. Sadly it has as far as I know, not ever been fun.

Avoiding customs, and interacting with planets should be a basic mini-profession for smugglers.
How this should work, I don't know. But this is an quick brainstorm:

There is a special ship that's pretty gimped in space, except perhaps in speed/stealth. It can land on planets to import/export without taxes. Also players should be able to make courier contracts directly from a planet to create a basic smuggling economy. Finally there should be some risk element, atleast in high-sec.


Good idea?
