PMC's are usually tied to a nation or in this case, house.

We're basically talking about (in a military point of view) second tier forces that will basically plug the holes that the regular army forces don't want to plug.
And i don't mean front line duty.

I am talking about security, escorts, etc.

PMC's aren't Mercenary Companies as the ReaveMerc. Co. or Mandalorian Mercenaries.

Those two are basically special duty workforce (hunting a specified target, executing hard case jobs that the regular army forces can't be caught doing like intelligence and deep strikes).
Since murdersauce is their choice flavor, they also are known to field the front lines, often working on their own to disrupt the enemy lines (Hamburg saw that kind of action from both Merc Companies).

People can argue that there is the question of loyalty when talking about Merc Companies.
There isn't.
There isn't a loyalty issue (in the Reaver case, mostly.)
Because it's just a contract between two parties that has a beginning and an end.
They get paid by contract, bounty board or a single target hit.
And normally they have 5-10-20 contracts at the same time.

Much diferently is the PMC's.
They would have one, two at the max, long standing contract.
They would have loyalty issues.
They would probably use the same military grade weaponry.
They would have more numbers than a Mercenary Company.

Basic diferences that the regular Freelancer Mercenary ID does not take into consideration.
The whole faction proposal would have to be very well drafted.

If you're going for the whole PMC with ex-Military doing bounties and basically the same job as the Reaver Merc. Co. and Mandalorian Mercenaries i can point you SMP for instance.

Dunno if they are still around. There was a good price on their heads in the Omegas.

Aka, the Reavers. Alas, we're merely ex-criminals, ex-military, loonies out of the cuco nest, and decent at what they do.
That is to have fun.

And wearing women undergarments.

Say: Thank you Cannon.

I'm still lobbying to add the line "Can and will fly drunk or just plain cuco."

And ye, Knjaz said it well.

A PMC using FL Merc ID would have to use whatever tech it's nerfed for. And then lobby for their own ID.

I still have to say that i think the faction draft would have to be very well written and with a lot of admin input to prevent delays in the request.

Mandos and Reavers ID were easy peasy since we followed the Merc ID to the letter. After all.
Filthy mercs will be filthy mercs.

And about the tech nerfs of both factions, i think that's available in AD's thread of the Tech Nerfs and Rep Hacks.
