Why on earth would would the Coalition turn a blind eye to traders, the lubricant of capitalism so to speak? When traders aren't directly aiding the Coalition cause, they are undermining it by the very nature of what they do.
(And please, none of that "We are like China, and also friends with all, while also being archenemies to a bunch of things and establishing trade and forging alliances with monarcies"-stuff. That roleplay doesn't appeal to all.)
So is the reason that the folks at the Coalition have a particularly kind heart towards strangers and bitter political/financial enemies?
Is it a balance thing? That life's too hard for traders?
A player thing, that it's more fun to play the good guy, contrary to what the existing structure suggests?
How about it being a RP and logic thing, because the Coalition is supposed to be a pretty communistic kind of state, which considers themselfes as a friend of the working class? What you want would be a plain terrorist group without the communistic ideals behind it.
The Coalition is not a vanilla faction and as such relies heavily on the lore created by the SCRA. Problems with this would be that, if the Indie ID gets opened up more and people have no idea what the faction actually is (Yes, people do usually not read the lore behind a faction to act according to it and only look at the ships and ID permissions and in which way they can be abused) Indies would cause a whole lot of trouble and RP headaches. This thread is a pretty good example on why the Coalition ID shouldnt be opened up more.
