So, after one too many encounters with a certain group of players(and this is not a hate post, I don't do that), it is time to straighten this out once and for all.

Say an Unlawful with a Generic Unlawful ID(lets use a Gaian for this example) hires a Freelancer-ID'd ship to attack transports and engage lawfuls. Is this justified? Can I become a generic Gaian and hire a bunch of Freelancers to help me kill Lawful ships and transports?

Allow me to pull an example from the Bounty Hunting rules.

Bounty Rule 4 Wrote:Mercenaries, freelancers and bounty hunters may be hired on the spot in game by non-generic IDed players to assist with a combat without a forum post. The other parties involved in the combat must be made aware of this.

If the rule above applies in combat situations, then the idea of an Unlawful hiring a Freelancer is invalid. On top of this, the Freelancer's ID states the following:
Freelancer ID Wrote:Pilot carrying this quasi-lawful ID is a Freelancer, who:
Can attack any ship in self-defense or to protect an friendly or allied ship.
Can fulfill any bounty and escort contracts, and may treat transports as combat targets when executing a bounty or escort contract against them.
Cannot use any transports with more than 3,600 cargo, except for the Pirate Train.
Cannot participate in unlawful actions except as described above.

What draws the line at 'friendly or allied ship'? How far can I go with hiring Freelancers with my Gaian ID to attack quasi-lawful and lawful players without breaking a rule? Can I do this even without bounties?

Also, I have noticed that after battle, the Unlawful player will wait outside a Lawful/QuasiLawful base while the Freelancer gets to enter the Lawful base to restock. Is this valid as well?
I would like to not see Generic Unlawful/Terrorist IDs with small armies of Freelancers(which, in these examples, are all Friendly IFF'd, save for the pirate) running around killing transports and Quasi/Lawful ships without thought.

I leave this post up for conversation.
