Revision as of 12:09, 13 October 2019
Drugs are generally refering to substances which are causing physical and psychological changes due to an (acute) intoxication of the body. They are named in the game 'controlled substances' and distinguished into three classes: A, B and C. Within the United Empire of Earth only the trafficking and possession of Class A controlled substances are regarded as a crime, leaving room for local jurisdiction, which can vary.
Maze, i.e. is classified by Crusader and Hurston authorities as class B. Since the possession of Class B drugs is considered a misdemeanor by Crusader authorities, offenders have to pay a fine, while Class B drugs are not subject to prosecution in the Hurston system.
Drugs slated to be mostly tied to the criminal game play aspect of Star Citizen. While there are legal drugs, players have missions and trading opportunities geared around illegal drug sales and trafficking.
