You can do better than this CCP, you are taking away the sand from the sandbox.  Considering the people claiming to be in this profession in this thread have themselves mainly talked about low & null, I really doubt they are actually having their profession taken away. Since their profession really is called logistics.
The only thing being actually taken away is the need to avoid randomly generated customs NPC's & a bunch of hassle with contracts. Someone still has to move the drugs around avoiding players now, and I'm betting most of the smart ones already do things like use jump bridges to move their drugs, exactly like..... all the rest of the logistics guys do when moving all the other products.
And in return they get a much larger market to make isk on. |

The main difference is Boosters are small enough that you can jump them without a freighter, which means by Covert Cyno, further reducing the risk inherent in the process.
Once you've got the Combat Boosters into high-sec, so long as you're using a cloaky ship, you're under very very little risk of getting caught by a Customs Officer, and even if one does manage to scan you that's entirely an RNG check.
How is that significantly better than Null Sec Logistics?
My point was more that this will not significantly change even if drugs are legal. The only change to risk is in highsec where it's a change to NPC risk only. Suicide gankers might still target you. Low & Null player risk will remain exactly the same. Using JF's might even increase the risk instead of using BR's & Covert Cyno's. Drugs will still need shipping to markets, and you can still sell direct to customers also just like now, nothing makes you use Jita ever. |

And you don't have to use them. A lot of people disagree with you though.
IMO making the debuffs completely predictable makes them less interesting and turns them from a potentially risky trade-off to another simple min-maxing tool.
What CCP themselves discussed at one fanfest is if people get a negative, they tend to simply not undock for PvP that day. It was a couple of years ago now so I suppose in theory that trend could have changed, however given all the new drugs introduced have no downside I seriously doubt that trend has changed much at all. |
