Unlawful Mercenary ID

[Thexare]

You can already shoot traders if you're hired to. Quote the ID: "Mercenaries can only fire on traders or smugglers in self-defense or if the trader or smuggler fires on or is bountied by the mercenary's employer."

Which means that if he doesn't pay, your employer can simply say "Alright, one million to waste this fool," and you can fry him. Or, I'm sure you can get a contract posted on the forums that says you're getting paid to help destroy any trader that doesn't comply with the demand - also allowed.

As for trading/smuggling, the existing ID says you can trade, and IDs make no distinction between smuggling and legit trade.

Ultimately, this proposal serves no purpose. Everything it can do, the existing ID allows.
