Robbing that LPI freighter running donuts and coffee? Dubious, but possible. Demanding 30 million from an LNS Battlecruiser or you drop a Nova storm on him? Yeah, not possible or logical. This affects the least amount of change while still leaving every other option open. Also, trying to rob the guy coming to kill you is kind of dumb, as is trying to rob the Sirius Police, I mean, Order. Exact ID exemptions can be discussed, though.
Thoughts?
It would be an improvement over what has currently been put in place by the admin team (in my opinion as it is less restrictive), however what about in my earlier example? What about that heavily damaged house forces ship that has just left a recent engagement and is on its way back to make repairs? It is completely plausible for people to try and pirate that. I am sure there are a ton more INRP justifications that people could use for pirating House forces.
I would still only see this change as limiting the role play available to people because a few people have abused the ID to get a quick pew. A better option would be to slap the few that are abusing the ID for this purpose.
