Should independents have it harder?

[Exsiled_one]

So basically, just because there's more of independent traders aka people that DON'T want to participate in corporation and thus fly a ship with smaller cargo hold, we have to cripple some corporations.

So ageira, even though their ID says so, shouldn't have the right to actually monitor who distributes their unique goods.

Since we can't even move from this point on, lets not even go into GMG - Kishiro contract and ask why is it that we can't roleplay one of the most awesome corporation combats in space. The Samura - Kishiro contracts.
Why wouldn't it be visible that GMG have exclusive with Kishiro and, somehow I can't get it into my head that a faction like Ageira can't hire mercs, but for example, FA can place a bounty on all foreign trade ships. Let's not even go into NovaPG or some even more restricting faction.
As for Kishiro and GMG, we'll stay in good relations, and I really wonder how will RepEx enforce this exclusive contract they have bargained for in Rheinland. Will Repex pay for the exclusive? They really should, but then after they can't really enforce it? Wow.

What's happening here is basically that 10 players from Ageira, and another 15-20 people that are in corps that will surely pay 50mil to license are getting stopped in roleplay because independent traders believe that Ageira has no right to actually do what their ID says. And not only that but threats flew off about crippling the commodity for everyone. Ha.

Let me say that very small amount of commodities can be actually controlled. You can't exactly control Neon or things that sell from more places than one. Mercenary or faction that's enforcing it can't be sure that they bought the thing from their base, when there's more bases to buy it from.

For those that say Trent was an trader, that was back in the days when dromedary was the biggest trade ship, and corporations had megatrains. How come we're not doing that? :/
just kidding ofc, that'ld be hardcore and we don't want to do that, ever. But seriously, if you're soooo hot about ageira's gate parts, why don't you get ageira ID?

I'm also not for cutting down their cargo hold limit further. It's more than fine. I'm just kinda sad that we can't roleplay out some thing that didn't just boom into our heads, but it's enforced in one case by lore and id and in other case numerous lore cards.
Why couldn't we roleplay out Samura Kishiro being rivals but further it down from paper. Make people that play either Samura or Kishiro realize how can house rivals be sneaky. Why can't we get a chance to form some deals and kick each other in the nuts?
