My personal take on smuggling/illegal flights:
They sound quite fun, really. Though a simple meter of whether you're a known smuggler or not shouldn't be the basis for getting caught, really. If
notoriety were the only factor in capturing criminals we'd have far many more behind bars. I like the idea of it being based more in avoiding major
airports. Perhaps detecting the proximity to other planes as well? You'd be forced to land in small strips away from traffic.. Maybe a bonus for
hiding for doing it at night with no lights? Little things like that could make it much more exciting. Flying low and without lights... Landing at
small grass strips and dumping cargo, and then leaving before you get noticed at the strip... That'd be awesome. ^^
I do have to agree, I don't want to see feature creep but if it won't slow down the release much, by all means.
