I will not permit it on any RP of my characters, you will find quickly with them that they are hated.
Besides, Xenos are needed to balance the reputation charts.

Sure. You don't have to. But the opportunity to in the ID line doesn't require any kind of rep change. I've seen people play highly protectionist Xenos who will try to never shoot a libertonian.
Also nowadays you can just shoot HF till the cows come home.

Xenos are still Terrorists.

Terrorists don't view themselves as terrorists, they view themselves as freedom fighters. This is not a 2D, Sunday-School philosophy universe with white-hats and black-hats.
I'm not going to debate lore with you.

Xenos are terrorists rules-wise. They can treat transports as combat targets. There is no relevance of debating lore or viewpoints.

I'm strongly against them hitting domestic targets, but there is no reason not to rob a Samura or Daumann ship instead of blowing them up. It depends entirely upon the faction's/cell's/pilot's needs at the time and is totally subjective.
If Xenos become pirates, what'll be the difference between them and Rogues? Why would someone chose Xenos over Rogues if not for the terrorist nature and background?

Then we need to find solutions and not just reasons to leave the ID as it is (presently, heavily unplayed).

There are many factions left heavily unplayed at this point in Disco for various reasons, but I can't name an example where turning a faction more generic, into a variant of an already existing but more appealing one, ever solved anything. At most I can see Xenos slowly ending up the same place where LWB did, if they cease to be terrorists. The Chopping Block™.

Thank you for the clarification Thyrzul, maybe Taeni got stuck in developer mode for too long.

Bump.
Also Xenos shouldn't be allowed to demand credits.
Add the GB line so they can't target transports as combat targets when they are flying alone.
RE: Should Xenos be allowed to use gunboats? - Major. - 02-27-2018
Another bump, is it possible to get that line in the near future?
