Why does the Hellfire Legion ID, is the single ID (except for the Zoner ID, I guess) out there that can only engage certain IDs that are listed in the ID itself?
That seems oddly nerfed to me, and unwarranted too. For example me flying my Legion Prosecutor, I encounter a pirate ID'ed Waran shooting at the odd DSE trader. Normally, I'd want to help the poor trader since it's a part of my roleplay, you know, to REPLACE the Navy - can I do it? Nope.
Starting to add a list of IDs seems non-sensible to me, just make it like all the other IDs that allow it to engage unlawfuls and lawfuls that are diplomatically hostile to Hellfire legion within the ZoI.
Bring back the old ID!
This current ID is terrible! IDs are meant to be an extension of a factions RP represented in game. The Hellfire Legion is unable to fully represent their RP in game because they are blocked by an overly specific and overly restrictive ID.
IMO Hellfire Legion should have similiar lines alike those from the Kusari Exiles, who are still the law enforcers - because of being technically still KNF. How it works for Hellfire, being ex-Navy officers, I don't know... Point out they are more a paramilitary group, perhaps?
RM raiding Texas with caps for the 234325 time this week. No LNS lolcaps present when you need them, of course. Only a couple of LPI and LN fighters available. And 5 HF bombers just hanging out because for some reason their ID does not permit them to engage mass foreign incursions or ally with lawfuls... The silliness in this picture is beyond any rational explanation and I'm thinking some changes are in order.

They might bring it back for the official faction, but indies would remain a tad bit screwed. The only RP left for them is shooting liberty lawfuls on sight and that's that.

Is the ID on the wiki wrong? Because it says you can do eggsactly that.
The Hellfire Legion is a paramilitary faction seeking to overthrow Liberty's government or attain independence from Liberty. The Hellfire Legion was formed by disheartened Liberty Navy pilots who believe a change in power is necessary to ensure the safety and prosperity of Liberty and it's people.
The pilot carrying this is a member of the Hellfire Legion who:
Is allowed to do the following anywhere:
-Can trade.
-Can defend himself.
-Can attack Liberty Navy, Liberty Police, Liberty Security Force and treat the transports belonging to them as combat targets.
Is allowed to do the following within their Zone of Influence:
-Can engage and attack any ships within Vespucci.
-Can demand Cardamine, Slaves, Nox, Synthetic Marijuana, Artifacts, Liquid Cardamine from any ship and destroy them if they do not comply.
-Can attack any ship except transports and freighters.
-Can defend allied ships.
-Can escort traders.
Is not allowed to do the following:
-Cannot ally with Liberty lawfuls and unlawfuls except corporations & Xenos.
-Cannot use transports with more than 4.300 cargo.
-Capital ships cannot leave their Zone of Influence.
Zone of Influence: Liberty systems, systems directly bordering Liberty, Vespucci, Humboldt, Kansas, Coronado, Inverness.
Modified ID there looks rather interesting. If it fits the lore better by actually allowing you to do what you should be able to do, I'm interested.
I'll bring it up as a discussion with the others. If the other Administrators see what i'm seeing, maybe we can make a few changes.

I just marked a small bit in that ID summary. While all seems fine, that 'can attack any ship' could better be changed into 'can attack any enemy of the Hellfire Legion'. Otherwise if one would take it too literally you will soon see HF ships engaging IMG indies in Magellan to just put in an example. (Not saying that it would be many, just a few)
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

This was the ID that was proposed after the abuse from Tutashkia. It is a fix on many things, which would made the ID useful but was shot down by the admins. I proposed that ID to fix the "Make HF to shoot 6 factions and log off aterwards" that it currently is and allow people to do something more with their ships than that.
