Needed clarity on contraband "Syndicate equipment, excluding communication equipment" under new Space Law

Recently, Space Law has been updated, bringing expanded lists on contraband. One thing that surprised me is under Restricted Gear:

  • [None] Syndicate equipment, excluding communication equipment
  • [Security] Syndicate communication equipment equipment

It took me a good minute to understand these two lines. They’re supposed to be interpreted as "Everyone is not allowed to have syndicate equipment, except for Security, they’re allowed to have syndicate encryption keys.

This should be updated for clarity. Some people might look at this at a glance and interpret this as “security does not have a right to take away syndicate encryption keys”.

Of course, the Captain can modify the contraband list and weigh in on this potential conflict. However, that’s a lot of unnecessary work and it would be better to rewrite the two lines for greater clarity. And to fix that grammar issue.

I fixed the doubled “equipment” on the wiki and I think it was already fixed in-game.

For the other part of this, does anyone have any suggestions for how to make it clearer?
