It's just about as much metagaming as a Golden Chrysanthemum meeting an Outcast in Honshu and then them paling around. I'm not sure how us walking around with people who are pretty much our buddies can be metagaming. Only problem which makes it difficult is that the Corsair has to be within the rules in having demanded money from the traders the group kills. As long as both players keep within the rules, there's no reason not to pal around. Same thing with us and Liberty Rogues, Xenos, and the lot.
EDIT: Also, we're actually talking about your post in the chat, DRV...
