ELITE DANGEROUS : ODYSSEY - SMUGGLING

After some aimless work on increasing my reputation with an Anarchy faction I was hoping to see some Ground-based material rewards for space-orientated smuggling missions. At present I have as yet not seen any of this time of missions, the notice of them being in the game being reported on Burr Pit's last news bulletin. I did a smuggling mission, got caught and fined, but did not get shot out of space, and was surprised. I am not a big game smuggler or pirate but anytime in the past, this happens, once the fine came in I was shot to pieces... Is this a variation to the game mechanics for smuggling or am I just so out of touch with this illegal activity?

Auto docking got you that fine I reckon. It's too slow. I turn off Silent Running at about 3kms out as I am already lined up with the slot. Then just sail in at a decent speed and land.
