So after experiencing it myself and hearing about it as well, the Pirate ID along with several other ID's will automatically change many of your reputations with NPC Factions when equipped.
Well apparently my character who uses a Pirate ID is automatically hostile to the Mollys. Which I find very weird, since I also have a Freelancer IFF on it.
Thats why I wonder if you Cannon who I believe is in charge of these "Pre-set reputation changes" could fix this problem by at least making sure the Pirate ID makes you neutral to all Unlawful factions and then let a desired IFF by your own choice change the diplomacy when needed.
If this is only a character problem on my end, then I could PM you my character name to fix the issue.
Edit: Oh and this might be in the wrong forum section, sorry!
I don't think that's an auto-set reputation... My Pirate ID'd ships aren't hostile to the Mollys. All new characters start a bit hostile to them, I believe.

Ah I see, well ok thanks.
The reason I believed it was pre-set, was because the amount of hostility I had with the Molly NPC faction was exactly the same amount of hostility with all other lawful factions that were pre-set.
