As someone with a real Freelancer char i have to say that i consider freelancer chars with pirate IFFs violating the IFF/ID rule .
Get a Zoner IFF while you work on your Freelancer IFF if you wanna play a real Freelancer char and do not abuse the liberty that this ID gives you.
A Freelancer may do buisness with corsairs or outcast but he is always working for him/herself and obeys the laws.
Freelancers are not Mercs who can choose the lawful or unlawful side and according to rules they are not allowed to collect bounties.
Gamma is the corsair home system, like chugoku is to the BD, if you request docking clearance and everything checks out and you have good reason to be there its okay

Laws are subjective. What may be lawful in New York (killing Rogues, destroying cardamine smugglers), may be unlawful elsewhere (Alpha, in the above examples). Just because we like to call them pirates, unlawfuls, etc, does not make them pirates, unlawfuls, etc.
Laws and the role play of a lawful Freelancer is not 'subjective'.
You guys are just stretching and bending the rules for your own advantage.
Get a freaking Merc ID and stop ruin the Freelancer role play - that's my very opinion.
And don't bother me with some ID descriptions, the rules are mandatory nothing else:
Quote:6.15 Owners of Bounty Hunter/Mercenary/Freelancer IDs have a right to attack:
- Pirates
- Traders ships carrying smuggled goods and refusing to drop them
- (not for FL ID) Lawful and unlawful players with a bounty on their heads
Alright now, there. I will now state what I do with my Freelancer, and my own views of what I can or can not do. This here is my opinion and interpretation of everything I know or have heard, and this is what I do and will always continue to do.
My character, which name I will make public, so anyone that ever noticed anything wrong with it can say it, though I doubt it will happen.
Thomas.Windham-Price. Freelancer ID, Freelancer tag, Eagle, 5 Heavy Flashpoints and a Sidewinder Missile Launcher.
All of these equipment components including ship and armor earned through freelancing work.
I have no reservations towards any kind of work. As long as it is for a reasonable cause.
Be it lawful or unlawful work( Which is a rather silly and subjective term, what is lawful in place A is not lawful in place B. ).
I escort many trading ships, including lawful and unlawful ones. I maintain a relatively neutral reputation with almost all factions, and work I sometimes do against some is kept under wraps as to not hurt my reputation with them.
A -Free-lancer is a man that does various things for money, fame, and adventure. In my opinion, he can do whatever he damn well pleases, just has to face the consequences if he does it.
He can not permanently ally himself with neither lawful or unlawful forces.
Quote:My name is Trent, I work for myself
A Freelancer follows the basics of vanilla gameplay, not meaning campaign, but all in general.
I will never stop myself from working temporarily for anyone whatsoever on a case by case basis.
I will try not to get marked as a person who works against faction A by faction A, so that I will get jobs from them as well.
I try to be good with everyone, by subtlety, subterfuge, and cunning.
I do and always will continue to do whatever works best for me, everything has an RP reason, and very well damn not be allowed to be stopped by rules that should -enhance- roleplay, not hinder it.
They are necessary, but are subject to debate and constant dynamics.
Rules are there as a guideline to RPing properly while not spoiling others' RP.
The thing I am very fond of, and sometimes place above the rules, is that little thing called Common Sense. I use it in whatever action I take on the server. I myself have never gotten a single complaint about what I do, and Common Sense is what helped me with it.
The rules are there to show Common Sense to those that do not want/can follow it.
Common Sense tells me what a Freelancer can do.
By all means, correct me if I am wrong. But I again will not accept something without a valid and legitimate reason, and "people that abuse stuff" is not a reason for myself to be limited in means of role-play.
You sir, I would like to ask you not to point your little finger of blame where it does not belong.
And here you go as well, gents, have a look at the Freelancer ID in 4.85.
Quote:Freelancer ID
Pilot carrying this ID is a Freelancer, who:
* Can trade and escort traders
* Can hunt pirates, terrorists and lawfuls across Sirius
* Can fulfill lawful and unlawful bounty contracts
* Cannot pirate
* Cannot use any transports with more than 3,500 cargo
I have a freelancer ID'ed and tagged character that hangs out in Kappa and Delta mostly, hinting Nomads in my IMG GB. I move through Gamma all the time and have never been stopped or questions. I usually just get a "hola freelancer" . Then again I am green to Sair's. Also I have no desire to dock at Crete. All I can say is it depends on how you run into and how they are feeling at the moment.
