On thing that is for sure is that the uber rephack against the Pirate ID is as time goes on proving to be very limiting to a generic unlawful's RP potential. Its true you can't really form a rebel group unless it's around pirating, or a pirate group that isn't basically a Privateer group. I'd like to see the unlawful rephacks on the Pirate ID removed, and allow for defending both Allied and Friendly ships, meaning Pirates could go back to acting as unlawful escorts more, and not be restricted by their IFF. This would also allow for newer independent groups, either pirate groups or 'rebels' set more of their own reputation.
