OORP Location Question

okie - lets start with the out of roleplay stuff

- freelancing in a cruiser isn t really working ( with a freelancer ID )

then about roleplay...

- freelancing is sort of something like a professional man for all occasions. he knows his way around, won t mind to get his hands dirty but will - if possible stay on the good side of the law. Now to achieve that - its usually of advantage to be mobile and flexible. a cruiser on the other hand is a very large ship, takes a crew to maintain and pay ( more than a freelancer with his rather small wage can do )

- a corsair ship ( i that case - it makes little difference if its a fighter of a cap ) comes with a reputation. most lawfuls do not like seeing a corsair ship around. especially not when its armed with a dozen weaponturrets that can practly pulverize a civilian/military station. so you must not be surprised when you are not really welcome everywhere.
furthermore - corsairs are not freelancers. they are determined to work for one cause. freelancing + corsair doesn t go too well together - but of course you can be a freelancer of spanish decendence - just not a corsair.

- as a freelancer you have the right to go to all public places, you must ask permission to enter specific systems ( guard systems, pirate homes etc. ) you can fly everything up to a gunboat ( i think ) but even a gunboat comes with a reputation. a blood dragon gunboat ( in case they sold you one ) would not be too welcome in kusari, while a kusari gunboat is not welcome in bretonia. a rheinland ship might be looked upon suspiciously in liberty - while a liberty fighter may be asked to leave when he is in rhenland. its all roleplayed politics.

so an advice is - if you want to freelance - choose a smaller ship. if you want to go to most of the places - choose a civilian line ship ( IMG gunboat - allthough the BAF might not love you then ) or any VHF of the civilian line ( there are tons ) - then you should be much better off to go where you wish to.
