Getting Pirated by a freelancer

[The Savage]

-Are hired by a NON-GENERIC ID under a bounty contract or escort contract

What are you suggesting is making non-generic ID, which are Pirate ID and Miner ID, unable to hire any escort. This also would mean that Freelancer ID trader would be unable to hire Freelancer ID escort.

The problem is, it would make entire point of Freelancer ID very awkward. Not to mention there's indeed such a rule:

8. Groups and factions may enter into contracts with governments or entities for flat rate fee payments instead of individual bounties. The flat rate shall be at least 30 million credits, and can be higher. Proof of this payment shall be posted prominently upon the forum, either on the bounty board or in a thread specifically regarding that contract. All acts under such contracts must be posted.

...but it applies ONLY to groups and factions. Only. Not to single Freelancers. Such a thing for individual Freelancers would be pretty nice, instead of normal Bounty Board, given roleplay would be good.

The question is - why does the Freelancer ID have this line in the first place if the ID lacks any allied factions apart from other freelancers.

For my understanding: the ones by whom Freelancer was hired.
