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".
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.
' Wrote:A freelancer is a freelancer, neither inherently lawful nor unlawful. Why does a freelancer pirate hurt your delicate sensibilities?
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" ...
I buy things I don't want to make an impression on people I don't like.
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.
