Traders?

[Athenian]

Makes sense.. I know first hand the problems associated with generic i.d.'s. Ive spent a lot of time arguing with traders who regard the transport of cardamine as perfectly legal! What's the equivalent for us - heroin?

Even the independent traders faction which is more a loose association of traders who run their own routes retains the interspace commerce id for the purposes of roleplay, which makes a lot of sense.

Most generic i.d.'s are open to abuse, but I think the smuggler one works well.

Would you include the freelancer id as a generic one? Should that be gotten rid of too?

I know the Crossifre mod marks all black market items with an icon indicating their status as such, but I prefer the notion that factions, rather than the framework of the game itself, get to regulate the trade. That's the real human value of RP.

The recent licensing of weapons sales in manhattan is a good example. Sure it was annoying for some people, but I think the RP improved. And i enjoyed the protests.
