Hostage situation

[FreelancerFanatic]

Hey everyone,
I was thinking about terrorism in Freelancer and I came up with the idea of a hostage situation. An Enterprise class luxury liner filled with 1000+ passengers that has come under control of an extremist terrorist movement who are demanding things or they will kill all the passengers onboard.
Hopefully I could create a threat for the lawfuls that is not solveable with PvP gunfights, but has to be RPed delicately.
How do you guys think I should do this?
Obvious problems are ID/IFF relations and preventing people from just blowing me up and tractoring in the cargo while yelling 'Theyre allright, I got their escape pods!'.
Perhaps I should request a Terrorist ID?
Please let me hear your thoughts.
