My one trader character has an Interspace tag as that seems the most logical as things stand...It irritated me to be flying and trading with a Police tag [aqquired through self defence as I/he plied the trade routes] so It took maybe an Hour to fix.....Everyday I pass police tagged traders with weird IFFs and strange IDs. I'm at least making some effort to be RP with the trader character....However I freely admit that he is primarily a money making machine...as are most traders I would suspect. What if it was required that all traders [over level 40] had to choose an NPC trading faction for a tag and ID and then had to stick to "in character" ships/weapons ,trade routes, commodities and ZOI? There seems to be a swing in opinion towards this, judging by various posts I've read.....I'd welcome it if made compulsory...I reckon it would be very good for roleplay and diversity.
