Cryer is not a militant group. Doctors, drug producers, sure. It's been decided that the line which has been removed doesn't make much sense to exit. It's reasonable that this faction might have security wings, though anything above it to allow attacking certain factions no matter where they are doesn't seem to fit very well. No other ID which is considered a corporation has capabilities like this. It's about time to balance the faction out a little.
Cryer is not their own military group yes, but they have a security wing to rival a small paramilitary.
Maybe removing it for Lane Hackers and GC at least could make sense (as not every Lane Hacker or GC is addicted to Cardamine), but certainly not Outcasts who Cryer frequently capture and study to use as research subjects in their experiments.
And Cryer raiding Alpha is a great way to create activity (albeit limited, because Crimson Cross like to gank Ranseurs on anything that even tries to the OC NPC faction some fun).
Generally I feel this change has been not only poorly though out but also poorly researched.

Your call, not like you will recall it, but I hope I am speaking for other people when I say that this line on this ID in particular was less of an issue than other lines on other IDs. You might as well remove samura-hate lines from the GMG ID as well, since they are gas miners.
