CURRENT ID TEXT:

"Pirate ID

Freelancer Pirates are completely independent from unlawful organizations. They are seen as loose cannons by pirate cells and troublemakers by revolutionary groups. These are people who want to make money by extorting it from others by any means possible. An independent pirate acts only for his own benefit, and has no allegiance to anyone.

Pilot carrying this unlawful ID is a Pirate, who:

Is allowed to do the following anywhere:
-Can trade
-Can defend itself
-Can engage Bounty Hunters Guild at will, except for transports
-Can demand cargo and credits from any Freighter, Transport ,and Liner in House Space, then attack them if they do not comply
-Can engage in piracy against any ships while outside House space

Is not allowed to do the following:
-Cannot ally with any lawfuls
-Cannot use any transports with more than 3,600 cargo, except for the Pirate Train

Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats, Civilian Carrier"

PROPOSED CHANGES/ADDITIONS:

Spoiler

Is allowed to do the following anywhere:
-Can escort smugglers
-Can assist unlawful factions that are not hostile to Independent Pirates
-Can engage in piracy against other Independent Pirates

JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES:

Spoiler

Pirate ID lacks engagement rights against their main opponents (lawfuls) and other Independent Pirates, who would be the only competition for another Pirate which the Pirate could actually contest, and suggested ID lines do not promote cooperation with other unlawfuls. This results in very limited role-play responses to in-game situations such as being forced to run away from lawfuls harassing the Pirate who are careful to exploit the ID's lack of engagement rights, and being unable to contest their competition due to lack of engagement rights. Cooperating with other unlawful factions also becomes very tedious due to the ID's lack of ability to assist them. Usability of the ID would be improve if the ID restrictions allowed for more intuitive role-playing and allows more role-play opportunities to arise with this very restriction-bound ID, rather than be constantly abused for its lack of engagement rights, resulting in illogical role-play from the user and others interacting with the Pirate simply to fit the ID restrictions.

Outcast slavery is actually far better for the victim than the corporate slavery and crime-less imprisonment of the Houses down in places like Liberty Rheinland and Bretonia
