But it would still require alot of tweaking just so they can have a "training match". And the concerns of abuse/mistakes still can cause annoying rep-problems.
However, as I said the majority of the Mercenaries we see flying around today are connected to at least one of the many bounty boards on the forums. Making their characters more or less traceable. And although there are plenty who work through these boards, it would be a lie to say that the majority are abusing their freedom to the point where they will dock on bases affiliated to Factions that they have in the past been killing.
So it still boils down to a minority of Mercenaries conducting it, at which point a combination of friendly reminders, warnings and/or Faction Right 5 should be able to manage the situation. A sanction report perhaps, I don't know how people handle it but it sure dosen't look like this super big issue that is constantly plaguing Discovery. Most complaints is that there is simply too many Mercenaries around, not that this specific behavior is shown everywhere.
I simply do not see this huge implementation being warranted. So here we end up in an conflict between our two individual opinions of how much we value this problem, so perhaps we should leave it at that.
The Admins get to decide whether this gets implemented, and you've stated your opinions, so yes, we can end our discussion. Until someone else posts.
As for mercenaries....I've had mercenaries try and claim bounties on the IMG's bounty board after shooting down IMG indie's in front of IMG| fighter craft. You'd be surprised.
