IFF spoofing could add significant complexity.
IFF units should (be abstracted to) have certain forms. These can be developed by factions. They have significant R&D cost, so some factions would rather buy them from another faction. Other factions will sell them because there is demand. In this way, a new industry and commodity is created, promoting variety in the economy.
Protocols have an attribute which describes the effort required to detect spoofed IFFs using said protocol. Detection equipment has a counterattribute which describes its efficacy in despoofing. Equipment (or crew) carries bonuses for specific protocols or types of protocols. Those of the faction which developed the protocol have the greatest bonus, while those of their clients have varying bonuses (possibly based on the quality of their contract). Connection to a database also improves the despoof bonus of certain protocols.

One side's security force is another side's suppressing army.
one side calls them "pirates" one side calls them "ecomomic disruption force".
How to define whats illegal to whom and where?

where do they get their equipment from?
What if they pissed off every faction in the region or get wiped?
why would anyone tolerate them in their systems in the first place?

What if criminals pissed off everyone? Why don't they get wiped and removed from our system?
Why would anyone tolerate criminals in their cities in the first place?

Ah, g'dmn it!
Okay. So. You brought up the following arguments in relation to so-called "local authorities", often known as "the police", that would be present in the sectors, right?
But in hindsight, I don't quite know what you ACTUALLY were referring to with this. What did you want to say here?
