I think Freelancers should be set at 75% for allied tech like indie pirates are. It will encourage people to make faction ID characters and generally make more sense. It's silly playing a Rheinland commander when you get jumped by mercs in BHG, IMG and GMG ships on Freelancer ID's. I'd like to see less of that, and that Freelancers used civi tech only (an Eagle with codenames or a Roc should be enough to do the job, and its a lot less messy than using lawful faction ships to kill other lawful players). In my view it's not that pirates have it bad when it comes to the tech chart, it is rather that the Freelancers have it too good!
