I've just made my first pirate and being a fan of the freighters I thought I'd grab a Bactrian, its got the looks, the presence and its got class. I kit the wonderful little machine out and undock to check the arcs, when lo and behold a powercore nerf.
I know the Bactrian is Molly/Liberty Rogue tech and the nerf isn't overwhelming (75%) wouldn't it stand to reason that the pirate freighter would share the same permissions as the Ptrain and Slave liner?
I already saw something that Bactrian, Pirate Transport, Train and Mul are freely awailable for Pirates 3-4 mounths before. so I doubt you will get nerf if things still like they was or Devs not forgot about them.
My advice is make Junker or Gallic Junker and give him Combat Service Freighter as well. Great thing.
Back in the time(beggining of 4.85 old [MR]- faction ruling about it) it was free usage ship like P-transp and Werewolf, the only Molly/Rogue ships were the GB,Scylla,Barghest- now it is part of Molly/Rouge line, only free ships are P train and P transp,hence the nerf.

It wasn't so much actual free usage so much, rather the LR and MR decided to let anybody have it and that carried over to the MC and the M.
There is also link for discussion for such things.
This is more a shipline question rather than a power nerf though I can see how the two would overlap, I'll suggest a possible inclusion of the Bactrian for the pirate ID.
Well considering that I recieve more tech nerf on official ship then Generic ID when I use allied granted tech by other official factions I see no reason why the nerf should be lifted for non-granted ships with no zoi restrictions and generic IDs- if you want no nerf use Molly or Rogue ID.

I don't mind the nerf as my Pirate is going to be a bit creative when it comes to piracy, it just seems a bit unusual for something marketed as a "Pirate Freighter" to not be in the same vein as the Pirate Train in terms of tech.
Bactrian, Pirate Transport and Pirate Train are intended to be open use for all unlawfuls, regardless of faction.
