Player Sanctioned: Misfit

[sindroms]

I fired CDs at the destroyer while it was trying to run away from the battleship outside Manhattan. That's fine, that's not an attack nor a sanctionable offence.

A CD is not an attack, no. However, since your interference, unhired, resulted in the player's PVP death, we ruled it to be a hostile action - an attack in your case. Context is everything and this is why reports are processed by the staff members to discuss the situation.

We suggest that if you want to act without needing to be bound to that particular mercinary rule, either sign up to a bounty board or use an ID that can either engage unlawfuls in Liberty on sight or ones that can assist your friend by having Liberty Navy stated as ALLIED in the character reputation menu.

Are Freelancers allegiances not defined by their individual rep sheet?

No.
Regular non-generic faction's allies are defined by the ALLIES: section in the reputation menu.
Freelancer allies are defined by people who hired them ingame or the boards they are signed up with - so in a way they are individual. Just that the reference must be stated ingame during hiring or on the forums in the bounty board roster.
