' Wrote:There is actually quite a significant difference between bounty hunters and mercenaries. Bounty hunters hunt bounties... Obviously. Mercenaries on the other hand are hired soldiers, often used in lieu of an actual military force (the sort of thing non-house groups would rely on I'd imagine).
EDGE strikes me as more of a PMC than a bounty hunter organisation, and saying that hunting bounties is not your main goal, rather providing military assistance to groups like the IMG, pretty much makes you mercenaries, not bounty hunters, which makes the Mercenary ID, IMO, the most appropriate.
To further emphasise the difference, read these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounty_hunterhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercenary
And with regards to the ID, nothing says you cannot be hired as a group to provide military aid. For example, the IMG could pay you 100 mil to kill any Outcasts you find in t23, then I believe you're legitimately permitted to go and kill any Outcasts you find in t23 in compliance with the contract. The Mandalorians have been doing stuff like that for ages.
The EDGE, till the moment we speak, are one of the groups which are signed up in the IMG Board and claims bounties on behalf of the IMG. They have no special status to regard them as IMG's private army, they just do that exact thing like any other group/individual there.
However, since bounty hunting is their secondary role, I would like to see them talking to the factions they are working for and presenting them defence contracts since this is their actual (primary) job.
About ganging, etc: Even though I have seen some EDGE fights, I will refrain from commenting on that subject till I see more.
Oh and yes, Montezuma is right. Lawful Mercenary ID suits you the best :laugh:
