People smuggling!
« on: November 24, 2015, 09:15:18 AM »

Why trade cargo, when you can trade people! ;D

Buy Marines from Killa; ~120 ea.
Sell to a high stability civilized system; ~900 ea.

Easy money!
You even get trade XP & rep gain for it too ;D

I have considered trading personnel before.  It is only smuggling if you use the black markets to conduct your human trafficking.

You know, this would make for a good mission, once those are expanded, and a reason to have liners/transports: Tagon's Toughs need transport from Killa to Jangala to blow up a reality TV station within 30 days. (Pays money depending on their size, gives you a rep increase with Schlock, and perhaps pisses the Hegemony off that you just deposited a mercenary company in their city...)

I almost bought a Starliner for its good cargo capacity and extreme personnel capacity (in case I need hundreds of marines to capture a Paragon).  I backed down at the last minute because I was not rich enough to afford that luxury.
