I don't care about them being Irish, what I do care about are imports. This is what I mean:
Original Molly symbol
Original, fits the Freelancer universe, symbolizes the Molly struggle, Irish themed all in one. 10/10 symbol.
Alternative Molly symbol
Shows the Molly struggle, fits the Freelancer universe, even has a Pirate Train or a LRGB thrown in for good measure. 10/10
And now we get to this faction's symbol:
The Harp.
No reference to Molly struggle, no reference to Dublin, nothing about it representative of the Molly movement, could be confused with a faction wanting a purely Irish ethno state, literally an import.
