Nerf the Freelancer ID and Re-Introduce New Generic IDs

[Lythrilux]

Because the FL ID can't give you an open engagement without a bounty, and if you intend on being a terrorist in a specific region, there are terrorist factions that better fit that role. Developing a character is more than picking an ID and ship you want to fly, it's genuinely creating their life and reason for doing what they do. Playing out their story to justify their actions in-game. You can't define your own diplomacy without, you know, actually developing roleplay with the factions you intend on allying with. That's stupid and powergamey. Using the FL ID to develop such is way harder than everyone seems to think it is. Though, that might just be me, because I don't actively search for loopholes to abuse or plug.

FL ID can give me an open engagement without a bounty. I define my own diplomacy, meaning I can define my own allies and friendlies. I can hop into whatever fight I want, without needing a bounty. This isn't about how much I would develop my character or whatever, but as a player it's entirely within my capacity to operate how I want with the FL ID. That's just too much freedom, and it eclipses other non-generic IDs.
