' Wrote:Not really think about the in-game balance of the ID not of the hypothetical RP balance they cannot offer insurance due to the game mechanics so this is not valid point to give the already good for trading IC ID one more in-game perk. And I cannot imagine any Insurance Agent/someone working in that sphere to do the ugly hunting job, think about people in suits with a lot of money, they can hire someone to do it for them.
Frankly, I don't know why IC is out there trading at all. Since, after all, they are a banking and insurance company, rather than a shipping company.

Stop!
In actual RP, what would happen is that IC would hire the BHG to go take of the problem for them. In game, we've negotiated a couple of agreements regarding IFF's and station usage.
But yeah - unless your ID specially says that you CAN collect bounties, then you can't. (The ID's that say nothing, especially the corporate ones, the pilot is presumed to actually be working for the comapny. So he's getting paid regardless of what he does - so as an individual, he doesn't get to claim a bounty.) And there are some ID's that specifically state that they cannot collect bounties.

I think that is the point they are making Agmen. IDs are confusing.
Some say you can't do X. Others say you can do X. So..huh...if it doesn't say either which is it? If it is that "If it doesn't say you can do it; then you can't do it." then why are there IDs that specifically say you can't? What is the need for that line?
I'm not going to beat the horse. I know this issue has been brought up and I know Zelot is working on IDs. I'm hoping he fixes issues like this.
Indeed. IC has no real interest in dealing with criminals directly. By lore, IC might or should hire Bunters to do the dirty work, however Bunter ID is prohibiting unlawful actions.
Due to game mechanics, we are unable offer proper loan serveices, since scamming comes with ban consequence for offender, and for IC, there are abolutely no guarantees regarding returned money/assets as in real life that would be.
As for accusations that IC should not be trading, that is indeed right by vanilla lore. However, there are way more off-lore stuff going on and everybody seems to ignore it <_< So let it slide. IC has rich opportunities for roleplay in four Sirius' colonies.
