Am I the only one who found that ID line odd? In Freelancer they are clearly on the lawful side, I've seen bounty hunters shooting my unlawfuls solo without claiming very often and never raised an eyebrow.
The ID line should have "can attack combat ships considered hostile by the Bounty Hunters Guild" at the very least, they are not freelancers from the view of current rephack mechanics, they have many hostile rephacks and this is just an outdated ID/oversight.
Either change the ID or change all -0.7 rephacks besides aliens to -.55
