Unlawful Mercenary

[Leo]

What I was told why this has yet to exist is to prevent pirates from roaming where ever they want and killing whom ever they please. This is understandable, however, people like the Children of Conviction (my faction) have problems being able to RP how their faction document says they do, being pirate merc's and all. It's difficult not being able to pirate people or attack transports when we're restricted by our ID as Merc's. If we use the Pirate ID, we can't do bounties, so we're restricted by that (afaik).

What I suggest is a middle ground. An Unlawful Mercenary ID. I'm not sure how you would regulate it's usage. I would say to restrict it by telling them they can only attack transports and what not when under a contract, but then that kind of emininates the point of being "Pirate Merc's". But if you open it up and let them pop transports like regular pirates do, then you have an issue with it being abused and roaming Sirius killing who ever they want. If you restrict it by tag, they will just get a Freelancer tag (as the CoC use) and will STILL roam Sirius.

Not sure how to restrict it, but it could open potential doors for many characters and RP. Would add a twist, if you will, to the regular RP that occurs with merc's, that's for certain.

Just thinking out loud, really. Discuss.
