How can I be sure to dump slaves, when I have in my cargo slaves and captured criminals mixed together? It happens to me quite frequently to harvest ten or more cargo pods and some escape capsules. Usually, when I'm done, I dump the illegal stuff.

Ok... It disturbs me to dump people in space (however, I can pretend that they are some sort of robot slaves, with a very tiny conscience )... but if I dock with slaves in my cargo, I will be marked as offender. So, since there's no possibility to set those poor slaves free... how can I be sure to get rid of those slaves, keep my prisoners and obtain my bounty?

I'm asking, also, because I discovered what happens when you dock in a space bar when you are marked as offender... I survived, but I became a fugitive

Nope... only if you launch with contraband onboard.

And (unless specifically coded otherwise) from a main Galcop station

So, it's ok to sell slaves (and firearms, and narcotics found floating in space)?
Good to know

Even if 'liberated' from other ships - booty is booty!

If you use the illegal goods OXP, you will have the choice between handing them over to the police or taking the risk of selling them (after ignoring or bribing the customs/police).

Ooh... Maybe I was too zealously trying to be a good guy.

@Gimbal Locke: Thank you! I didn't know about this oxp. I'll try it.

There are several ways to be a good guy in this game - we all have our own RoE out there.

Holy crap that's amazing. After reading the wiki i'm definitely installing this. Totally takes care of the main issue I had with constores and other new stations- it makes illegal good trading too easy.

Thanks
