Rules are to be interpreted using common sense, surprise surprise.
You have already been told the modding team is fixing the error on the ID inforcard. I think there is nothing else to say on this ID/Rules issue.
AFA/KNF behaviour however, is open to discussion I believe.
As Farmers, before being pirates who have embraced weapons for a cause, they are Kusari Citizens, they will not just stand aside when the security of our empire is at risk.
As they have not received the training KNF pilots receive, they should be less effective when fighting and eventually retreating when things go worse.
They are farmers after all...
I agree that recently AFA reports are sounding too much like KNF ones, it would be great if this could change.
