Industry Black Market

[COUGARHUNTER]

i dont really know how to do anything besides drugs i can help

 

[Belzoth]

I have a BMM, so if we use an endeavor to make narcotics, count me in for smuggling the product

 

[supitza]

This thread got me really pumped. I'll crew any Endeavor that will have me.
My plan is to be a corrupt official. I want to be friendly to the UEE, maybe even work with the Military to some degree, but be as corrupt as possible: model citizen and friend of the Empire by day, narcotics chemist and butcher... err, surgeon... by night.

 

[McFurious]

Space drugs? I want in on that. I'll name my Freelancer "Hot Box"

 

[D3Mark]

Freelancer MAX here, I go fast with cargo.

So today on the 10FTC, there was a question about smuggling compartments.

The Question

Twitch asks: I have a dream of being a smuggler in the PTU. Will I be able to create hidden compartments in my ship to hide certain items?

The Answer

Yes. We are absolutely going to have that. We’re going to have the ability, we’re trying to think of how to do smuggler caches, cause obviously we want to have some creativity up to the player, so it’s not like “Here’s always the secret compartment in the Constellation” cause obviously then law enforcement will know where to look.

We still have to finalise the design on that, but the intention is to allow you to buy, purchase or install certain items that could potentially have false bottoms or all that kind of stuff to hide some cargo and then maybe if someone’s playing the role of an officer or something or an NPC they can come in and board you and they check your ship out and give you a pass and you fly on smuggling that contraband and stuff like that. That’s absolutely going to be part of the gameplay.

It’s a long term, obviously not happening in 2.0 cause there’s some more basic gameplay like cargo hauling those kinds of things, bounty hunting, mercenary escort missions. They will probably happen first but smuggling’s definitely on the list and it’s kind of a fun one involves interaction with other NPCs and potentially other players so yes you’ll be able to do that.

SO! This bodes well for all us smugglers (*fanboy noises*). What are your thoughts for stuff like this guys? Ideas on where you're putting your smuggling compartments? What ships do you think will work best for smuggling (pure smuggling, not blockade running/shooting through blockade/etc)?

 

[Reptar Khan]

This is freaking awesome to hear. I was a little worried about the idea that hidden compartments would always have to be in the same area of the ship. This means smuggling will be a lot more interesting.

 

[Haxsys]

Not sure if this would be under Industry/Smuggling etc..

I will be looking to own an Endeavor. Once we learn more on drug production/black market surgeries, I was hoping to build a team of scumbags to ruin the lives of the space poor. Anyone else interested in the seedier side of Star Citizen?

Write me on the list of people who are interested when the game is further developed.

 

[Blind Owl]

Word up home slice. Count me in. Did that sound gangster? I wanna be hard core. Also, I love this plan. Our own seedy black market org. The TEST Cartel.

 

[NecroKnight]

I was looking to pick up smuggling and small cargo runs. Not exactly above illegal transport of goods... to a point. Count me in. I was already thinking about grabbing a BMM next big sale and I have a Lancer already if needs be,

 

[50fluffykittens]

Whatever you want smuggled better not do it without me. Count me in on all these blackmarket deals! :D

 

[doctorpepper]

Having a grey moral compass I need some black in it. I got some holding cells in my Avenger that are great for storage of organ vessels

 

[Reptar Khan]

<Excitment, Imtoxication> Meat to the maw!

(Been reading HUmanity Fuck Yeah Reddit stories getting psyched for SC!)

 

[flickdbean]

Could probably make quite a bit of UEC. Smuggling TESTies off of prison planet...

count me in for some of that.
when i was buying a ship, and i read the Avenger backstory i thought; fuck that! i don't want to fly around in a dirty old second hand pig ship that's spent it's life carting people off to prison! i intend on doing some avenger smash-n-grabs for prisoners as a way of making some money, and doing (as i see it) my civic duty.

 

[Kremlin Kommander]

Finally a good use for the avenger.

I'd like to opportunistically slave someone and sell them as a pet or for parts. Either one works for me.
