Please take care with the photocopier, Raaaid, Though a world with one Raaaid in it is a much better place than a world with no Raaaid, multiple copies of yourself might make things difficult for those of us with less inhibited neurons. ;)

Raaaid, since we have "international waters" on our planet, I would assume it would be wise to label the ships with something understandable in English. And like Air Traffic Control, it's mostly done in English. I know smaller airstrips and areas where people know eachother you can speak native on the radiochannels.

So if a ship just reads XXXXXXX you wouldn't know what to think :p
