Are outcast cap ships now open to any ID?

You honestly think a single Dreadnought can take us down? You've never flown a Battleship before, have you?

Here's my dig with his Roleplay. He's running a business, and a small one. Here he is, buying a ship from a base that the 101st fully and wholly controls. It's in the 101st Guard System, giving us explicit permission to deny him that purchase and pursue him to the ends of the earth. And then there's the matter of the lovely Dreadnought itself. I'll go get the infocard:
See the problem? Why would the Outcast Guard sell a massive construct like that to a corporation? They need it for defensive purposes.
There aren't supposed to be large numbers of them, just a scant few. It's not even practical for what he wants, which is to fly around owning people that 'threaten his business interests'. What? That's not what we make Battleships for. Gunboats and Destroyers are much more suited for the task, and they're available.

He says he wants an Outcast Battleship now. How about no? Same thought process as the Dreadnought. It's smaller and cheaper and available for limited export, but not to a corporation, and don't anybody try to question me on the feasibility of that because I designed that ship.

Answer: Get a Destroyer. Scratch out everything to do with the Dreadnought and buy a Destroyer instead (I say scratch it out because after what he's somehow managed to do, read, one man commandeering an entire dreadnought from a protected military facility). No problems, no red tape, just a post with the ship's name and good behavior.
That constitutes an RP? The Corsairs would eat you alive (only half joking). Do you expect them to take their most hated enemy in just for fun, and do you honestly expect an Outcast to defect because the Military wouldn't let him fly his stolen Battleship? Sounds like a little kid having a temper tantrum.

Now, before anybody invokes the He Payed For It Bla Bla Bla argument, riddle me this. Could Bill Gates go down to US Navy Headquarters and tell the secretary "Hi, I'm Bill Gates, I'd like to buy the USS Iowa, please."? Chances are Bill, despite being the single richest human alive, is going to get taken away by the people in white coats. Same deal here.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LAND ON CORSICA. It's in the 101st Guard System, and hence we have total control over landing rights. Indeed, being in the system at all without the prior authorization of an Outcast faction is illegal.
We put you on KoS because you refused to sell the ship, bub. You want to sell it? Good! Do it and we'll take it down, but the simple fact of the matter is you mouthed off to us and denied our authority. If you're not running from Outcast space very quickly you'll probably end up with a bullet in your head. I'm willing to forgive your blatant disregard for the law of the land and let you keep the Destroyer, but I will not authorize the purchase of Outcast Dreadnoughts for anything besides a proper Outcast Military player.

Oh, and did I mention that a software block would be considered hacking? Yeah. Problem.
That's exactly what it is, Laowai, a way to deal with people who can't RP so the people that can have clean space to play in. I will not stand for the 'Discovery Capwhore's Union' trying to shut us down because, simply, it is an Out of Roleplay orgnaization and has no bearing as such as to what the 101st does. You honestly think you can just put yourselves above us like that? I really don't think that works...

The only ships that the 101st are likely to deny sale of are the Battleship and Dreadnought, pure and simple, and I'll say it again: They are military ships. A corporations should not have a Battleship. Why on earth would they need one? Too expensive to maintain, and they're civilians. Let's give Microsoft a fleet of US Navy Destroyers and a couple of old Nimitzes, sure, what the heck? I think not.

Major military strike: He's already said that he will post in the employment section. That would mean that he's thinking of a lot more than one Outcast dreadnought.

Also, the Iowa's been stricken. It's currently available for donation as a museum or a memorial, I think Bill Gates could easily claim to put up a memorial and buy it.

Edit:

Automation of a ship that large isn't practical or eveybody'd have robotic Battleships, thus invalidating the point of the game.

Maybe not in your RP. But in mine...well that's the beauty of RP isn't it.
