The SCRA

[DarthBindo]

The inconsistency. That's what I consider wrong.
As for small-unit tactics, is that the only deciding difference? If a corsair or molly group (for argument's sake) were to decide to only use small-unit tactics, would it too go unmolested by adminy powers wherever it roamed?
Traditionally, complete freedom goes along with very little power, yet in the SCRA we see both to a very, very large extent.
As for the roleplay logic of small-unit tactics, until very recently, their entire front doorstep was a solid seething mixture of redisded Corsairs and Baffers, and the vast majority of the galaxy still hates the SCRA. Small-unit tactics would only take you so far when you're hated by the lawfuls (who control the jumpgates, mostly) and unlawfuls (who control the jump holes, mostly)
Not to argue that they should have a tiny ZoI (given their location in the Edge and the travel options it affords anyone, they most definitely shouldn't), but Liberty? Kusari? Deep Gallia?
Those are twenty minute treks in game time, far outside what would be considered canon for anyone else save the Zoners or junkers or some such neutral rot.
