Would This Be Appropriate?

The fact t hat the FL id is sold on places that you'd need good lawful rep, is only a game mechanics problem. One could easily say they are an ex BH affiliated freelancer who went rogue, joined the hackers.. etc.

Or a hacker who went rogue and joined the bounty hunters, taking his ship with him.

This works for fighters, nothing larger- what about the crew? In any event, either you become hacker affiliated in full, or you make them uber hostile to you when you're done.
