Sorry for the late reply, I kinda abandoned the thread.

Teach me master the ways of RPing a destroyer as a trade ship .. cause that's something new for me ^^
But really, the thing is, if people see a cruiser class ship, all they can think of is "Oi! Warship! " making the corvo not so useful... especially cause it's pretty much Zoner only ...
The Fearless has a cargo hold less than double the size of the hold of a Voyager, an other ship of mine I usually do freighter trading with, so in terms of profit it isn't more. Obviously you'd need destination points outside of House Space, but other than that it's basically freighter trading without the cruise speed and small size of freighters, but in return spiced with the hilarity ensuing when people you described in your second paragraph meet my attempt to talk my way out of a situation.
Sadly never got to try out such situations, as even during the small time I was trading with my Fearless all the roleplay I got were greets. Even by lawfuls, even by lawful warships. I'd been curious how such conversations would roll. Maybe one day I'll return to it.
