Pirate ID Discussion

[Lythrilux]

The ID itself are redicilously oveerpowered, but its up to players to make RP of your character. Of cource its bad to limit people from being independent pirates who do not care to serve someone. But often enough, players are abusing the ID in own good. You already named a few most used.

But what do you propose? Make severall Pirate IDs with limited ZOI and/or RP?
Like: Liberty Indie Pirate ID - can pirate ppl in Liberty and 1 system away from it. (limit ZOI)
Or: Unlawful ID: Can pirate lawful ships but cannot do so to unlawfuls. (limit number of enemies)

Ofcourse some might say: ''Delete Pirate ID! Its OP!'' But I dont really think this is THAT good idea...

I had an idea, ID could be rewritten like this:

This player is an Independent Pirate who:
-Can attack any ship in self-defense, or to assist other Pirate ID'd ships.
-Can demand cargo and credits from only transports.
-Cannot demand credits during a fight
-Cannot use any transports with more than 3,600 cargo, except for Pirate Train.

To go along with this, I suggest that the Pirate ID gets all of it's faction tech cells wiped off, and that they can only use Sirius/Gallic Civilian, House Civilian and Border Worlds technology.
