Tag vs Id question

[chopper]

I am not under the impression that ID and tag have to match... My smuggler is tagged as police while his ID is obviously smuggler.

And that is where you are wrong. It's nice to "use" it for your smuggling, but the rules are clear.
Tag must match the ID as close as possible.

Trader with no tag is acceptable.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
