Microsoft didn't take into account the *REAL* meaning of "civilian" when they made freelancer.
This is a FUTURISTIC simulator, guys.. as everyone is well aware, the meaning of a word can change dramatically over time.
Using wikipedia to define things that belong in a universe so drastically different from our own is like comparing apples to oranges. Come on.
McNeo, while that was a good shot, I don't think you really did that good a definition. "Civilian" in the freelancer universe, means they are FREELANCERS. No affiliation of any kind. Doesn't mean that they're ordinary people going about their business with no economic/military ties. That's the wrong definition
