Pirate ID insufficient.

[Equinox]

I'm going to have to say, again, that it isn't really about Terrorist factions.
Its about the so called 'pirate' factions.
They aren't really all pirates.

On Outcasts, they aren't pirates. There aren't any Outcasts that live anywhere near Liberty. They run drugs to liberty, and that's the only reason they show up in Liberty, using Rochester and Buffalo and Mactan as safehouses and stopovers.

On NPCs....Bretonians demand cargo, BHG demand cargo. The fact is, 'Pirate' does not describe these groups.
Pirate is a cop-out in the ID system. Look at the Pirate IDs: its simply a cookie cutter design for anything that is not a citizen of one of the four houses. The Pirate ID does not fit most of the Criminal groups in Sirius, they may not fit the Terrorist group either. Those are the choices we currently have. Terrorist or Pirate.

Im not just going on NPCs have a look in game there is stuff written about Outcasts and pirating..

Outcasts-Rouge Nation-have their independence, are not even human anymore, and goals are to rule Sirius through the Cardamine trade.
Xenos-Terrorists-Xenophobic Libertonian workers-if anyone's thought this through, they have no reason to attack Liberty based companies, and probably have supporters inside those companies.

there my expertise ends, but none of the above groups fall under the label 'Pirate'

And don't slap the Pirate tag on everything that's criminal.

Well in that same light you cant just slap a pirate tag on Corsairs then because thats only a small part of what they do (just like outcasts).
