In Disco, the classic "Terrorist ID" was basically somebody that could fly nearly anywhere in Sirius and shoot anyone they wanted (albeit...I think they were limited to GB size max), but was also RED to nearly everybody as well (think of it as a Sirius-wide Xeno). The ID has since been removed due to being abused by pew-whores.
It hasn't.

Where on earth did I ever say that? But following your logic then, would it make sense for the Coalition to send out ships to save traders everywhere?

You are correct, there is no doubt that in a direct confrontation Coalition would be wiped out. For some reason I do think they employ guerilla tactics with ships like the INSURGENT.
