The banks are still in buisness because the make lots of money buying
virtually new spaceships with wet paint and papers, and selling them
at a huge profit.  You think the PLAYERS are money machines, they have
to sell at loss on the black market....

But really, I'd just put a transponder in that needs updates from a
bank office every 3 months or it starts scraming STOLEN STOLEN
STOLEN...  Go ahead, skip, see if I care.  If you disable the
transponder, naval ships have this bad habit of blowing up your ship.
(OK so my views on law enforcement are draconian too...)
