Id question? - Errant.Venture - 07-05-2009
ok so lately ive seen some crazy stuff...but nothing as strange as this:
a pirate train, 2 borderworlds fighters with Freelancer IFF's and pirate ids, pirating in leeds?
the players will remain nameless as this isnt a trial by forum, its more of a question as lately it seems players are getting weird setups

What's wrong with freelancer IFFs on a pirate id ship? It means the pirates are not affiliated with any of the unlawful factions in Sirius. Then again, wouldn't an affiliated pirate simply be a member of the group? it seems silly for the pirates to tolerate competition from "pirates".

hmm that does make sense in a twisted sense....almost like those UBoat killers in ww2, i didnt think about it that way.

Freelancer IFF is the only non-unlawful IFF allowed with a Pirate ID. Anyone who wants to be a completely unaffiliated pirate has to use a Freelancer IFF, because the Pirate ID won't let you go tagless.

ahh that makes sense.

Glad we could put you on the right track. Now, would you care to hand over all your credits and cargo to us in return for your life?:P

Someone wanted to pirate, yet felt bad about dropping the Freelancer IFF, which is so hard to get.
To unaffilated pirate... Well, there is no problem to go tagless-Pirate ID. Where you see the problem making this?
And well, Freelancer IFF / Pirate ID
... It's the same as Zoner IFF / Corsair ID --- It MAY work under circumenstances, yet it still hurts eyes and brains of all in vicinity.

And the Pirate ID says the holder of the ID must have either an unlawful or a Freelancer tag. It says it right there on the ID.
And losing a tag is easy with the /droprep command.

Ah, very well, I haven't been on pirate since .85 came in, and the ID allowed tagless before, I would swear.
And why BH docking with Isis hurts my eye? I don't know, but it does. It simply looks bad together , Freelancer is closest to mercenary, yet very far, doing anything, anyhow, anwhere, be it lawfull or not, yet pirate is a very specialised work, very much siding it to unlawfull. More that the fact Lawfull IFF / Unlawfull ID, the idealogy of the two "Works" ...

There's been a bit of talk about getting a generic 'Criminal' IFF added, maybe with bribes on Barrier Gate (like the Freelancer IFF has). Then you can have a Freelancer tag for lawfulish characters, and a Criminal tag for unlawfulish characters.
