Do people see your ID?

[Marburg]

To clarify what I mean from earlier: there are many things that I see on my game screen that goes through an 'RP translation' in my head & there is no black & white to it...For example, planets & bases are bigger than they appear, & certain ID's are not as they seem. In the case of a smuggler ID, I never scan the ID & say oooh! a smuggler! & look! he's smuggling! pew pew. when I see a person with a smuggler ID, I pretend that it's something else like a trader ID, & that the goods being smuggled are hidden from my scans and being shielded in hidden compartments on their ship.

During my interactions with that person, I may or may not discover their true vocation...it simply depends on how the encounter plays out case by case. Like if they are carrying a full load of contraband, my character would be suspicious as to why a trader would be flying with an empty hold (as my character cannot see the hidden cargo) & an 'empty' hold in a case like that would open the door to RP interaction relating to the lack of cargo, & a possible discover of their true intents based on how they play out the moment with me...If they carry legal goods along with the contraband, it seems less out of place, & increases their odds of slipping by me.
