Terrence Morrow\n\n\n\nDie UEE hat in der vergangenen Woche ihren j\u00e4hrlichen Kriminalit\u00e4tsbericht ver\u00f6ffentlicht. Da immer mehr Menschen die Staatsb\u00fcrgerschaft ablehnen und die dunklere Seite der Zivilisation annehmen, stellt sich die uralte Frage: Zahlt sich Verbrechen wirklich aus? Bei der Betrachtung als rein wirtschaftliches Unternehmen muss ich sagen: Nein.\n\nEs wird nat\u00fcrlich immer Ausnahmen geben. Die \u00d6ffentlichkeit hat ihren Anteil an ber\u00fcchtigten Schmugglern und Piraten gesehen, die durch die Missachtung des Gesetzes get\u00f6tet haben. In meiner Forschung habe ich gelernt, dass die wahren Unternehmer der Illegalit\u00e4t diejenigen sind, die nicht ber\u00fcchtigt sind, die keine Geschichten bekommen und Vids ihre Abenteuer fiktionalisieren. Sie sind diejenigen, von denen du noch nie geh\u00f6rt hast, und wenn sie sich durchsetzen, wirst du es nie tun.\n\nDiese Artikelserie ignoriert die Ausnahmen und konzentriert sich auf das, was fast achtundneunzig Prozent der Forschungsergebnisse ausmacht: den t\u00e4glich arbeitenden Verbrecher.\n\nW\u00e4hrend es wahr ist, dass der durchschnittliche Verbrecher Dinge wie st\u00e4ndig steigende Steuern und Landez\u00f6lle, Gildengeb\u00fchren und Versicherungen, die die legitime Gemeinschaft belasten, vermeiden kann, muss man bedenken, dass sie mit st\u00e4ndigen eigenen Ausgaben belastet sind:\n\nSchiffsreparaturen\n\nDie meisten Spediteure, Verlader und Durchschnittsb\u00fcrger lassen sich ihren Lebensunterhalt nicht stehlen. Neueste Statistiken sch\u00e4tzen, dass achtzig Prozent der Banditenangriffe zu einer Art Kampf f\u00fchren. Da deine Lebensgrundlage davon abh\u00e4ngt, andere anzugreifen, stehen die Chancen gut, dass du nicht unversehrt davonkommst. Daher k\u00f6nnen Sie mit relativ regelm\u00e4\u00dfigen Fahrten zu Ihrem Mechaniker rechnen. Was uns zu den illegalen Zerlegel\u00e4den und Flickstellen rund um die Systeme f\u00fchrt, die dem kriminellen Element gerecht werden, zu Kunden, die nicht die \u00fcbliche Papierspur wollen oder illegale \u00c4nderungen\/Reparaturen ben\u00f6tigen. Man kann einen signifikanten Aufschlag erwarten - in Bezug auf den Preis, mit diesen Typen Gesch\u00e4fte zu machen, wenn sie nicht mehr Gewinn finden, indem sie Sie erschie\u00dfen und Ihr Schiff f\u00fcr sich nehmen.\n\nRechtsberatungsgeb\u00fchren\n\nWenn Sie erwischt werden, ist die Anzahl der Creds, die ben\u00f6tigt werden, um eine durchschnittliche Rechtsverteidigung aufzubauen, ziemlich atemberaubend. Da die meisten Menschen nicht davon tr\u00e4umen, in einer PrisonWorld ausgesetzt zu werden, sollten Sie einen Verteidigungsfonds griffbereit halten.\n\nNiedrige Entladepreise\n\nMan k\u00f6nnte Diebstahl als das ultimative Risiko\/Rendite-Verh\u00e4ltnis betrachten. Wenn man es ohne Probleme schafft, ist das alles Gewinn, oder? Leider ist die Realit\u00e4t ganz anders. Mit der zunehmenden Frachtmarkierung wird es immer schwieriger, gestohlene Waren zu transportieren, so dass Sie entweder einen K\u00e4ufer finden m\u00fcssen, der bereit ist, gestohlene Waren zu kaufen, oder einen Zaun, der die Technologie hat, den Handel neu zu kennzeichnen. Fazit ist, dass Sie den Marktwert der Waren deutlich unterschreiten werden, manchmal bis zu 60% weniger, als es der legitime Verkauf wert ist. Es ist ein K\u00e4ufermarkt da drau\u00dfen. Du bist diejenige, die gestohlene Waren besitzt, nicht sie.\n\nMedizinische Kosten\/Gefahren\n\nWie dein Schiff wird dich der kriminelle Lebensstil in alle m\u00f6glichen lebensbedrohlichen Situationen bringen, von Verletzungen w\u00e4hrend eines Raub\u00fcberfalls bis hin zum Szenario \"Deal goes bad\". Was auch immer der Grund ist, die Chancen stehen hoch, dass Sie zusammengeflickt werden m\u00fcssen oder K\u00f6rperteile ersetzt haben. Leider k\u00f6nnen Sie nicht einfach in Ihre lokale MedStation oder CyberDoc gehen, ohne verd\u00e4chtige \u00c4rzte zu riskieren, und \u00dcberwachungsfeeds an die Advocacy schicken, so dass Sie es mit Untergrund\u00e4rzten zu tun haben, die Sie mit medizinischen Kosten bis auf die Knochen schneiden und Geld verbergen.\n\nDer Preis der Identit\u00e4t\n\nDas kriminelle Leben ist wie Treibsand; je mehr man \"arbeitet\", desto einfacher wird es sein, einen zu fangen. F\u00fcr jedes Schiff, das Sie treffen, wird Ihr Ruf wachsen, was bedeutet, dass mehr lokale Polizisten nach Ihnen suchen werden. Irgendwann wird sich die Anwaltschaft engagieren. Um ihnen immer einen Schritt voraus zu sein, m\u00fcssen Sie Ihren Identit\u00e4tseindruck minimieren. Das bedeutet, dass ein Cache mit gef\u00e4lschten ID-Tags aufgebaut werden muss. Wenn Sie von System zu System wechseln, m\u00fcssen Sie wissen, welche Identit\u00e4ten wann verwendet wurden, wenn es die M\u00f6glichkeit gibt, dass das Tag durch die Verkn\u00fcpfung mit einem Ihrer Angriffe \"schmutzig\" geworden ist.\n\nBestechungsgelder\n\nEs wird Zeiten geben, in denen Sie einige Palmen fetten m\u00fcssen, um Informationen \u00fcber Schifffahrtsrouten, Ladungsverzeichnisse oder skrupellose politische und polizeiliche Ma\u00dfnahmen zu erhalten, die in die andere Richtung gehen. Da die UEE-Gesetze \u00fcber Korruption und Bestechung strenge Straf- und Geldstrafen vorsehen, sollte der Durchschnittskriminelle sehr vorsichtig sein, wenn er versucht, jemanden zu bestechen, unabh\u00e4ngig davon, ob es sich um seine erste oder f\u00fcnfzigste Transaktion handelt.\n\nAbschlusserkl\u00e4rung\n\nMir scheint es offensichtlich, dass sich die finanzielle Belastung durch kriminelle Machenschaften den potenziellen Belohnungen weit unterlegen f\u00fchlt. Ganz zu schweigen von den physischen und psychischen Belastungen, die in dieser Welt auf deine Psyche einwirken m\u00fcssen.\n\nIn den n\u00e4chsten Wochen werden wir tiefer in die Welt des Durchschnittskriminellen eintauchen. Erforschung jeder einzelnen Facette dessen, was diese Welt zum Funktionieren bringt, was jedes Jahr mehr M\u00e4nner und Frauen anzieht und schlie\u00dflich, wie man hoffen kann, dem Strudel des kriminellen Lebensstils zu entkommen.\n\n\n\n\nENDE VORSCHUB","zh_CN":"New United NewsOrg\n\u201cDoes Crime Really Pay?\u201d By.
