As for the trade faction, in a nutshell, they are all the same. Either the RP laws should outline what each corporations is authorised to transport to make them distinct or some kind of gameplay aspect rewarding proper commodity transportation.
We all know that trade factions are usually made of people who are there for fun. Because if you need cash it's easier to be an indi since it's same profitable and less attractive without that shiny faction tag. Also balance is never balanced so if you'll make factions transport limited list of goods then it will reneder 95% of them dead since only 5% will be granting max profit because of specific commodity combination to routes.

The only thing they can't do is to fly Dreads and Carriers.
Other then that nothing is limiting you to spam bombers or cruisers or combined or fighters of any sorts. Weapons and ships are the same.
Just no one wants to be a space cop. That's the problem. It's not interesting because people don't see LPI in space doing something interesting.
Then we are getting back to my first post, tech and ID have nothing to do with lack of activity. Blame leaders of LPI.
Caps are the thing nowadays. Real RP is quite dead and it's been more about /l1 for months. The player base changed quite a lot, police factions aren't appealing to these new players. There's not much you can do about it really, neither can the police official factions.
Good thing we're actually went down to the understanding of this! *Le me claps*
Since for years administration team and certain members were spitting on the RP and fairplay the very few of those who cared of those are left.
Achivement unlocked, you've gained a pure playerbase now full of gankers and caps where is /l1 RP overwhilming everything.
