There are more of them than you. Argue if you want but when it comes down to it, Might Makes Right in Freelancer.
Official factions have been made official by the community. If the Independant owners of ANY ship fail to RP properly in a faction ship, then it's alright for the faction to hunt them down.
Disco has things quite strange at the moment. You have official factions with proper ranks etc but they are not backed fully by the Admins. IE they are not concrete. If you want to disobey the LSF and still say you are one, then you can. THat is the issue. There is no point argueing about Independants or Factions when you have freedoms that directly interfere with each other.
Also, this arguement will never be settled. Some will still think factions are evillll!!!!!! and some will still think Independants are evilllll!!!!!!!!
Quote:No not at all. The BAF faction leader simply asked us to register ships. I did so. They asked nicely.
OC faction leader did not simply ask us to register our ships. Register or die. Not very nice.
Edit: BAF also did not set limits on who could fly what, from what I saw. I could be mistaken.
The Outcasts are one of the favourite factions in Freelancer. When you have Outcast Battleships appearing in New York then you have a problem (Though it can be resolved by a bomber or two). You do not see BAF battleships appearing in NY though.
Bretonia has few enough people as it is, if the BAF had imposed restrictions they would've probably had a few less (Though the people who go to Bretonia are usually the more RP heavy people anyway)
If you had refused the BAF request then they would've killed you in the end. Outcasts just have to do it regularly.
