About Smuggler/Independent trader/Slaver/Pirate/Freelancer/Merc IDs
All these IDs are to mention that person who wear one of them isn't someone's employee - he's freelancer, looking for fun or cash. They was prolly separated from each other just to give some restrictions(or guidelines) to players who use them, but NOT to help other players identify them (iRP).
For example, overage suspicious towards Smuggler or even Pirate ID'd ship without illegal cargo/equipment, IFF and backstory is INCORRECT.
P.S. Thanks for the idea to add small legal cargo amounts to hide contraband - i found it really usefull.
