Anyway, I think the rule was put into place for people who had, for example, a Zoner IFFed Pirate. Or, for a more specific example, a Zoner IFFed, OC IDed Corvo.
In this case it is using a neutral, but GENERIC IFF. Now had we used something more specific, such as a Zoner IFF, then sure- it would probably be seen as abuse.
Perhaps we might even get the old Vigilante ID back with a similar set of limitations in ship class, docking and engagement rules. Who knows.
I fully get your point.
But still it seems to be a bit odd, and I wouldn't go for that without having explicit admin approval.
To see the old Vigilante ID brought back, as well as a few more IFF's, like a general "Pirate IFF" etc. would be lovely as well.
Even when the rules say "IFF (color) doesn't mean too much, all that counts is the ID" still many people rate you by the color and they always will. So there is indeed some need for more (specific) IFF's (on my opinion).
But that's now a bit off the Topic - sorry for that.
