An NPC bug, perhaps?

[Pinko]

It is simply that all npcs are set to default cargo status, and they dont see your ID, notice how they adress you as "freelancer" whatever your ID? That's what they think you are, its not a bug per se as much as an UNupdate.

It would be nice if the devs could make it so NPCs treat ID'd players as NPCs of that faction - also so if you shoot a player from that faction, the npcs will go hostile to you.

They can still scan fellow ID'd NPCs.

And request stuff from them.

That's hilarious.
