Well...
This is a difficult arguement cause well Ivan raised another good point.
Telling us in the OP that you can't control independants.
Alright fair enough but when those indies are idiots where do we turn to?
We can't take action against them cause then you (the official factions) step in.
We can't report them cause you not responsible.

So if you are an indy anything you can essentially do whatever you like (as long as its within the rules, as well as give every trader with perishable goods a lecture on proper ship safety, telling them how dangerous their cargo is, make them fly 50. KM above the plane so they don't contaminate anyone or anything) and get away with it.
This could be why we already have such a indy issue. Not all indies are bad. I want this stated as clear as possible.
The ones who are can get away with murder cause they not answerable to anyone (within roleplay).
Yet we are answerable to them.

So where do we go from here then?

My advice. It might be time for an MP (military police faction) who investigate this sorta.... Stuff.
I reckon we make ivan the leader, recruit some pvp whores and boooooooom!
Anyone who belongs to any official lawful faction can make one. They can go anywhere and don't have to answer to anyone. May not be shot at my lawfuls unless that lawful is defending his life.
That faction will never get bored XD

(That MP comment was for the lulz btw,)
