Promoting police roleplay - separating Police and Military identity?

[Enko]

The problem is that doing this sort of thing, by design Police tend to be either tackling criminals or enforcing laws on traders, with very few in between.

The issue is that, imposing on smugglers by design promotes people to come around on criminals to engage with the shown activity. The reality is though that a lot of people get upset when finances are impinged upon and Police tend to get the short end of it and that hasn't changed since 2010 either.

By design, when you play known Police or tagged up police tags, you often get these traders logging off in a system next to a house system and coming back later on or they ask their friends to log in and mob you to clear the way etc.

In theory, increased activity should promote pirates and criminals to do their thing and bustle around the house causing trouble. But it takes a lot of work to get it to that point, and some groups are just interested in their own economics so will try and crush anything in the way of that even if it kills off the activity.

For arranged fleet fights and events its fine, but people change when credits are on the line and get alot more hostile about it and that is the tricky part about Police factions as a whole.
