But in vanilla there is also Navy flying trough the main systems scanning your cargo for contraband. Maybe you don't need to keep thing like vanilla completly, if it enchances the RP, why don't change some parts?
There is terrorist activity and a war going on, there should be Navy in the core systems, and to do nothing while there, that would be a shame. If I am a trader under attack, and some Navy personell doens't help because they aren't allowed to, I would be mad.
