Elite Dangerous | BGS | Smuggling via carrier transfer to reduce influence

Let's research whether you can reduce a faction's influence by smuggling prohibited goods via carrier transfer. Lastly, we test if smuggling was nerfed by the most recent trade update by testing smuggling from a carrier market to a black market. The results will surprise you.

So much understanding and testing which you are sharing with us here - for me, as a noob to BGS, your explanatory commentary is *gold* 👍
Thank you Cmdr

Of course that smuggling from a FC work, you can still use the price manipulation of the FC to increase the profit with smuggling and boost up the +20% Mahon bonus alongside (yes yes, Mahon trade profit bonus do work for smuggling) AND unlike legal trading, it will still keep the full intended BGS effect, but in your test you have forget one fundamental rule which is the same rule that you have to conssider when you legal trade for influence :3

Thanks for the clarification! That's really interesting.

Sudden loud music blared out over your voice around the 23:45m mark, then stopped after a minute or two; and again around 35m mark music overpowers your voice; and again at 45:35m music overpowers your voice; Hopefully you will understand what's happening so I won't report any further instances of same...

I was trying out music in my videos to make the boring bits less boring, but I think the best bet is to ask for trust that I'm doing what I'm saying I'm doing (i.e. filling up my carrier or delivering goods) and editing it out completely. Unfortunately, TH-cam doesn't allow you to replace the video once uploaded.

@@vanderaj music could be a good thing for some people, and not for others.
For me, I like the idea - with a little less volume on the music, I think it works.
Your commentary is the important thing though, so as JackTrice mentions, not being able to hear what you say is the challenge 🙂
By the way, do you know what the music track is called, I'd like to have a listen - found it to be interesting music ! 😃
