It's interesting what sorts of things show up in my neuralnet inbox. This is a rather awkward situation, though I am sure the Libertonian government, in their vast wisdom, will see that certain ships may, in fact, look similar on scanners to others to untrained eyes while being quite distinct and add clarification to such things in their laws. They are, after all, quite smart. If Rheinland can notice such differences, surely Liberty can - right Lieutentant?
But Arbiter, clearly the issue is that you are discussing this matter with a low level officer, not someone who can either make the laws (as was said) or even make real decisions. As I said, I'm sure those who make the ultimate decision on important matters will see things logically.
