I have recently experienced a couple circumstances during the same game. First off, I encountered NO fortresses before finding CSC Arctica. Which meant no military ID or rank.
In previous versions, I am sure if a player was carrying military hardware (weapons, shields, armor) and docked with a commonwealth station, the military hardware was confiscated. In this game, I foolishly docked with said CSC and was told I was a civvie. But the military goodies I had in my hold were NOT taken from me. Is this a bug or has the commomwealth had a change of heart concerning civilian craft with military items in your hold?
