He's kidding right?

Common problem, I guess. Mercs have no particular restriction in equipment questions, so cases like that happen sometimes, if not very often.

My opinion is that Mercs are free to use any equipment, but have to stick to the same manufacturer and try to exclude taking bounties against those. Mixed setups is like taking the best from all. Neither RP nor fair (nor-fair, norfair... Metroid anyone?).

The best thing we could do is of course merge Merc ID with Freelancer ID. They are basically the same. Before 4.84 the Merc ID was sorta a Freelancer ID above lvl 40 though, so I'd say we merge those two.
