Couple of questions...

If you dock then undock as a trader, you can be killed (over and over again). But equally, once you have docked, you can F1 and change to a different character, but thats not to be used to kill who was just chasing you. PC factions are generally smarter than NPC factions and they remember who you are. NPC factions still adress you as "Freelancer Alpha...." so PC factions acting like NPC factions is a kind of half and half. PC factions fulfill the same roll as NPC factions, but they do so with more efficiency and act how militaries would act towards the certain kind of player, regardless of whether they are green in the HUD or not.

Believe it or not, The SA only patrol Texas and California, the North Alliance (who dont exist at the moment) patrol colorado and the border systems there.

Basically, you cant get away with what you could in SP freelancer:P.

Hey, even I do a bit of smuggling here and there. I just never go into house space. I nearly got caught by an RM doing it, but he was in sigma 13 so he couldnt do anything to me;).
