Question on this old story on destroyed PLEX

[Redwolf]

This is the old story where somebody lost > $1000 in real-world money representing items in a ship that got blown up.

Now, there is one question that is open to me: why would you fly around with the PLEX in the ship? Why did they make the change to allow them to be carried?

People move them from one trade hub to another to get the best prices as PLEX can be traded on the market like any other item. But they can be destroyed like any other item.

Hauling a bunch of PLEX without protection is very foolish.
