Well, a more useful idea I and a friend came up with the other day was the ability to "steal" from the black market. You could steal a little, a "middle" amount, or a lot. (low hundreds, high hundreds, low thousands).

The results, however, were not nice. You'd get an increase in price, long term, from the black market because they don't trust you (but getting "cheated" is still a part of the game so they aren't too upset). If you steal the middle amount, you also get a (large) bounty placed on your head by the irate dealers as well. If you steal the large... In addition to the others, you get a pirate raid launched at you. A big one
