4.86 final tasks: Rephack and Technerf config

[Govedo13]

But, I'm curious if this is done on requests or there must be some long RP backing it up and not just done out of the blue.

The last 3 official Molly factions shoot generic pirates in the last 3 years if they pirate in Bretonia- hence the rep hack. It is part of the faction history and this rephack reflects it well.
The only generic pirate group that is close to the Mollys is Joker and his thugs- but they are long gone.

I don't like that official faction, especially one which uses/used secondary Generic ID, get to adjust reputations toward generic IDs ( which should provide balanced freedom ).
It's like taking advantage out of Generic ID for own reasons, but denying others the possibility to do so as well.

Since the generic pirates can dock on zoner bases in O49,O3, junker base in NL and gaian and outcast bases in Bretonia I cannot see how we are restricting anyone.
Indeed it is true that Mollys use secondary generic smuggler/merc IDs like the half of the official factions aiming for some different kind of the standard Role Play. Since the said IDs are admin approved together with on what kind of ships they could be used in the faction request I cannot see problem with that too.
If you are concerned to explain how exactly Molly official faction is restricting Indie pirates and with what Indie pirates contribute to the Molly faction using its bases feel free to express your feelings-use the faction feedback.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)
