Traders?

[Blodo]

I don't see a problem with the ID. It's not like you get shot at for wearing the smuggler ID, they might look at it in suspicion but they can't do anything to you, can they? And when you get caught having that 5000 cargo of Cardi, your trader ID not only will not save you, it will make matters worse.

Let me present my view on the matter: the generic trader ID should be eliminated instead. There is no such thing as a generic trader in the world of Freelancer. There are only corporations and companies and a independent trader wouldn't really get far without corporate sponsorship, unless he is a smuggler. There are plenty of companies that are pretty much slated for inter-sirius trade, and it would only work even more to enforce to RP rule of traders NOT venturing out of the house territories, because they shouldn't. It would also give the police forces something to protect if it would get more risky to trade across jump holes for a normal trader. What do you guys think?
