With the first engines you'll need hours to get to other planets in the same system. With ftl you need mere minutes, but days to weeks to other solar systems. Only stargates allow fast travel to other systems.
Normal engines ~c
Ftl ~ 1000 c
Stargate probes ~ 10.000 c
Yeah, I mean, sure, but... why would anyone make it illegal IN the game? They would be like potions or elixirs in any other MMORPG. Why would smugglers need to be in check?
Best case scenario, a big corporation makes a lot of them, makes money, buys more army than any other faction and pulverises any competition and the game is turned to JUAREZ Universe and we all play as space drug-lords and hustlers.
Organisations? Nah, call them Cartels, turn legates to O.Gs and call the admins "The Feds".
I hope the composer for the music in-game has a really goood sense of hip-hop music, cause Space-Cadillac ain't playin' no techno yo. If it ain't Strait Outta Arkship, it ain't cool yo.
