I agree with Ackarion here, I am a new player. If I want to use Freelancer Companion and just run around and find a profitable route and just jump around the game learning the ropes meeting new people and generally having then thats good.
But if I joined and like he said I tried to select a resource to trade and it kept saying you can't have that or if I was transporting something and someone came to me and said do you have a licence and I respond with a no? Guess what I just lost my investment and as a new player I could have invested all of my money in that trade.
I do not see that being good for anyone, and besides no one faction has total control over any resources other than Ageira. Yes some like produce more from an RP stand point or produce "higher quality" but that shouldn't stop me from trading it. Also as a new player seeing all these IDs and not knowing picking Freelancer is a good option because you can dabble in pretty much all aspects of the game without new characters joining factions etc etc.
