Differentiation of House Navy & House Police

[Internity]

It's not that they shouldn't be allowed to scan people, it's that it's not their job to do so.

I agree with Reid +
Love that dialogue between Navy battleship and King.
Yea, that's true, Navy do scan ships and they protect Liberty and its borders. Also the current Navy info card and the original game info card both mention that Navy does more than just going to war. They patrol daily and scan ships and protect liberty's economic welfare. Just look at those NPCs do you think they're added just to fill empty space? Their patrol paths make a lot of sense.
To be honest your proposal looks foolish to me and would ruin Navy's activity a lot. People play Navy because they like that RP if they would like to play as Police they would do it right now. We don't need to force people to play as Police.
They all work together LSF, LN, LPI and that's how it is explained in their info cards and during some of the storyline gameplay until all hell breaks loose in Liberty.

Thus, there isn't a strong reason to create a Police character as opposed to a Navy character - Navy has more potential targets, bigger ships, comms infrastructure, et cetera. The only real downside is that Navy can't use TLAGSNET, but even then that can be counteracted by camping at known trade nodes, using chokepoints, keeping a list of offenders, et cetera.

Official LPI can also use /nodock, /police, and is registered on the Liberty Bounty Board, with more or less the same enemies that the Navy has. Both are pretty different in their roleplay, though, so it really boils down to personal preference.
