Call it PVPwhoring if you want, but saying that pirates wouldn't hit military targets is BS. Just too bad that our community uses the Pirate ID ONLY for that. That's where it becomes harmful.
I used it for Akapai, because it was only ID that could cooperate with TheUnforgiven's ship AND would fit theme of personal revenge of the character, both against Gallic and KNF/Samura/Hogosha targets. I would pick other ID, such as Blood Dragons, but the ID do not cover whole Taus. I could pick up Bretonian Privateer ID, but this does not cover Kusari. Not to mention both CAN NOT cooperate with generic IDs, which SpecOps ID is rulewise (because this SpecOps ID acts as Freelancer/Pirate ID).
And, that would be kinda weird for clearly unlawful character to register onto Liberty Bounty Board, if I had Freelancer ID - but Freelancer ID cannot harass law authority ships for example. What I would be supposed to do then? Insult officer to fulfull the server rules?
TL;DR, I picked up Pirate ID only because I did not want to break server rules.
Also, someone mentioned that Pirate ID players are not organized and can't make player faction. Tell me then how Freelancer ID can make trade factions, bounty hunting factions...?
