The line is too ambigious about what is 'allied and friendly ships', since Jansen clearly stated that you can protect vessel which hired you on spot or for escort duties only - the personal roleplay allies are not counted inside that rule as well, according to the very same statement. Note this change is also to put emphasis on a diference between 'escorting any trading vessel' and 'being hired on spot by non-generic ID [in order to attack other players]'.
