Pirate ID Discussion

[Croft]

Ok let's slow down for a sec, because this:

"it also offers the path of least resistance for those who just want to blow things up"

is untrue regarding the Pirate ID, I know that for a fact cuz I researched it Almost all ID's in 4.87 offer you far LESS resistance on the path of destruction than the Pirate ID. True, the issue above might have been the case in previous installments of the mod.

Look at the 4.87 Outcast ID to name one, I can engage all ships except for transports within my ZOI (which is like 4/5 of all or Sirius) without any ridiculous piracy demands. You can't do that on the Pirated ID that limits you to "2milordai" and keeping your fingers crossed that someone will attack you or refuse to pay - on most other ID's you can skip straight to shooting.

Isn't the demand a bit of a moot point since all attacks require some form of RP? There is no ID that can skip straight to the shooting, even if it's only two or three lines worth.

Regarding the Outcasts, they are by all accounts the number one drug supplier of Sirius so it stands to reason that they have a wide ZoI to cover the Houses but to counteract that, they have enemies within those zones not counting the lawfuls. The pirate ID covers the entire galaxy with limited trouble from the other pirate factions which makes no sense, it's like selling cocaine in front of a druglords mansion and expecting to get away with it. Not to mention access to almost every bit of pirate tech and ships, granted it's a 75% core but that is still pretty good.

I'd apply the same thinking to the freelancer ID but that is another, far larger can of worms.
