AI ID

[Butcher]

This makes them pirates:

1. Can demand credits or cargo.

and thus valid targets for an AI.

Then by default you have just separated every ID into two categories, lawful and pirate since about half the ID's contain a line about demanding cargo, or fines, or whatever. Forget about quasi lawful, neutral, or anything else. Since your your only relying on one line of text to tell what someone is then I guess I can go ahead and call Bounty Hunters pirates. Because after all, their ID contains that exact line, since were only relying on that single phrase and saying screw everything else that happens to be in the ID or even their very name.

Are you going to treat a Outcast in a transport carrying goods under the rules of a pirate? Because they fall under the rules of 6.6, like every trader, which in effect makes them traders whether smuggling or not. You can call them a pirate, frankly you can call them whatever you want, but the rules portray them in that situation as traders.

How about Junkers. They cant even pirate in house space, except in Kusari. Are you going to purely label them as pirates? They even fall under semi lawful. How about a police ID? Because after all, they can demand contraband which still happens to be cargo, and levy fines which is just a fancy way of saying demand credits.
