If I fill up a mining bag on my Prospector, detach it and give it to somebody else, there was a time where the other person was getting a CrimeStat because it was considered stolen goods. Can that player now go sell the contents of that mining bag because it's theirs now? How should that work?
TL;DRThe aim is that anyone you allow can handle and sell a bag's contents without theft charges, with the first step being shared ownership among party members; thieves may struggle to sell at reputable vendors.
So it should work that every person that you allow to handle the content should be able to handle that content. And this is something that we are working on, because what we also don't want is, if you're doing group trade routes and you have to split the content of your ship or whatever, that it has one dedicated owner; it can have multiple owners that are valid there.
So a way to designate: I'm giving this saddlebag full of Quantanium to this person and it is now theirs and they have full rights to it, versus somebody has taken it and now they would be a criminal.
Correct. I think the first step in this will be to allow party members basically to share ownership and not to get criminally charged; it's not theft if you're part of the same group.
And then for the criminals who get the CrimeStat for intercepting a saddlebag, they might have trouble selling it at a more reputable vendor. But as new locations come online that are less legally friendly, there might be other opportunities for them to sell their misbegotten goods.
Of course, that is always the plan.
