Line 109:

=== Illegality and transporting ===

~~Boosters~~ are considered illegal by all Empire ~~custom officials~~. NPC customs agents at ~~gates~~ may scan your cargo; if you are carrying boosters, you will lose 0.1 standing with the faction that caught you, and ~~face confiscation~~ and ~~a fine of~~ 200% market value of the boosters~~. You can choose not to~~ pay the fine, ~~in which case you keep the booster~~ but the customs official, who flies a battleship, will try to ~~kill you~~.

Standard, Improved and Strong boosters are considered illegal in all of [[Empire]] space (Synth boosters are perfectly legal). NPC customs agents at stargates in Empire systems may scan your cargo hold; if you are carrying boosters, you will lose 0.1 standing with the faction that caught you, and are given a choice:

* Your boosters are confiscated and you are fined 200% of their market value; or

* You keep the boosters (and don't pay the fine), but the customs official (who flies a battleship) will attack and try to destroy your ship.

Note that it is only illegal to transport boosters~~. It~~ is perfectly legal to fly while under the influence of them.

Note that it is only illegal to transport boosters; it is perfectly legal to fly while under the influence of them. Also, even ships with "unscannable" cargo holds (such as [[Blockade Runner]]s) are vulnerable to scans from NPC customs agents.
