You also happen to wear Rogue ID and IFF. Our generic ally and something we've been looking for a long time but nobody serious used it.
I totally look forward to meet you in the game. Cheers.

Normally we don't participate in discussions however considering this is a reply from a senior member of the dev team, we have to correct the record...
The Lane Hackers is not a revolutionary faction. It is a pirate faction.
Lane Hacker activities are far different than Harmony's. For example, Harmony main activity is to fight LN, while we usually try to avoid law enforcement.
=[R]= we wish you the best. We are looking forward to interacting with you in-game and having fun.
At no point did I claim the Lane Hackers were a revolutionary faction. Your outward appearance in roleplay is that of politically motivated, anti-corporate pirates. Regardless of the degree of sincerity behind those motivations, you are essentially sending the same message that these guys are, or rather vice versa considering your seniority. You can split hairs as much as you'd like, but at the very least, publicly, all three factions are sending the same message, even if their MO differs. In the case of yourselves and this new Rogue faction, the two frankly seem very similar, far moreso than the comparison I drew with Harmony which was strictly an ideological one.
Why aren't you guys running the indy Coalition ID or something? Seriously, it makes more sense than Liberty Rogues given the political goals you've written. Marxism 101, those. Also, ex-Liberty Navy pirates? Really? Would the number of defecting/former navy elements in Liberty ever be counted they would total more than Liberty ever had as a standing force at this point. Hellfire Legion, Harmony, all the Nomad infected and defected to the Order warships, and now you guys. It's old, boring, cliche, and played out. I'm sick and tired of all these defecting pilots in this defecting House!

We'd still argue we're a little different from the rest. Though, maybe, not extremely different.
It all just comes down to wanting to have fun, and in the end there's nothing wrong with that.
