NPC Factions and RP factions.

[sovereign]

Okay, first off, if I was around I would have went "du-WHA???" at that equipment setup, it has nothing to do with player factions dictating stuff. If I was an Outcast I probably would have shot you, IMG ship + BHG weapons + Mercenary ID + Outcast tag looks more like a spy than anything else (a bad spy, but a spy nonetheless). I would have asked for some rhyme or reason before just shooting you, but I would still be in a very hostile mood.

Just because a ship looks appropriate doesn't mean you should use it, think Order (Hi Tenacity, I didn't agree with that one either). If you ARE going to do something like that, write up extensive forum RP for it first, get comments, and THEN do it. Exhibit A, zapp's Wesley Richter story.
