Heh, I get your point Spear. I hate to break RP to quote rules.
My anecdote: The other day I was building a character, a smuggler for BLS. Well I was flying out to get the Pirate Transport. Along the way I was intercepted by a Liberty police guy and he was waiting for me to launch into space from a Liberty Rogue base. Rather than break RP to say "Im creating a char" I played it out and said I was a Trader flying a Starflier and that I'm no threat to anyone, despite my freinds (affiliation of Outcast).
So I managed to get through that without breaking RP even though I could have.
