You know what?! I have started the game through trading, I have started the game getting pirated, I have started the game hiring an escort for my little group. We hadn't thought a single time to create some "security" wing. I mean today, indeed there won't be a problem hitting up someone in skype logging another char to escort me, means I don't see the impact on the gameplay you are talking about. If an indie searches for an escort today...he wouldn't even find an escort. It is a matter a making such things more attractive.
It is just a cutting for increasing beneficial variety. In this case disco is currently a RP like the good "chemist, who is magically also a medic, a geologist and a cook, and so on , so on, so on...." who often appears in movies.
By the way, junkers, FL, other autonomous factions also have their restrictions meanwhile in cargo hold or other usage.
