| === Illegality and transporting ===
| |
| 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. Also, even ships with "unscannable" cargo holds (such as [[Blockade Runner]]s) are vulnerable to scans from NPC customs agents.
