NPC Cargo Scanning

[Haste]

NPCs demanding cargo is a fairly pointless feature. I get that it adds to the experience in single player but Discovery Freelancer moved away from really supporting SP years ago. NPC pirates are too wimpy to back up their claims, and police NPCs will happily demand contraband from lawfuls and actual smugglers alike (while, as nom stated above, smugglers can just tradelane away to avoid them anyways).

All in all, the only thing NPCs demanding cargo leads to is NPC police demanding recently-confiscated Cardamine from police-ID'd players which is just straight up awkward. Unless things can be set up so that law enforcement ID'd players aren't demanded from, I'd prefer to just get rid of the "demanding" behavior entirely.
