In regard to the problem with "what exacly affiliation means in Pirate ID":
Quote:* - Can attack any ship in self-defense or to protect allied vessel. * - Can ally with any unlawful, except other ID states otherwise. * - Can ally with Junkers outside Liberty, Bretonia and Rheinland.
* - Can demand cargo and credits from all except House Military/Police/Intelligence, Bounty Hunter, and Order IDs unless the target is flying on a Freighter/Transport/Liner.
* - Cannot use any transports with more than 3,600 cargo, except for the Pirate Train.
For some odd reason, Unione Corse and Hogosha are rephacked hostile in Pirate ID (Error? Purpose?), that's why I gave Junker here. The second line is about the unlawful IDs that cannot ally with other unlawfuls (Gallic Junker, Kusari Exiles, Bretonian Privateers, and few other).
