Opinion on LSF's job *Faction wise*

[Fletcher]

Before I start, this is by no means a flame or picking on the =LSF= faction by any means, I am asking an honest question. Here goes.

As far as I am aware, the Liberty Security Force or LSF as a faction, are an intelligence branch of the Liberty peace keepers, like an anti-terrorist division.

This is the LSF faction infocard:

Liberty Security Force

ALLIES:
LPI, Liberty Navy, Liberty Corporations

ENEMIES:
Liberty Rogues, Outcasts, Corsairs, Red Hessians, Unioners, Xenos

The Liberty Security Force (LSF) is the intelligence branch of the Liberty Armed Forces, operating in secrecy to ensure the free flow of goods and services in the Liberty economy.

I would like to stress the operating in secrecy section on that infocard. This branch should be operating in a base somewhere and watching the long range sensors and guarding Zone 21 and Alaska like its their baby children. No argument on that front.

Despite this I have seen them acting like policemen and women, or somewhere in the ranks of the Liberty Navy, and chatting to the public. Casually.

Lets look at it this way, the FBI are sorta in a way like the LSF, protect the peace, but only when the serious stuff happens. i.e terrorism or assassination attempts. They don't do grunt work like catching drug dealers or take tanks to blow up some bunker, which the army does.

The LSF seem to be doing the job of the LPI and the Navy. While I respect their tolerance for such annoying work, its not their job.

If I was in the LSF I'd fly around not talking to anyone unless its my fellow officers or superiors, thats how it should be RP wise I believe. Not to mention stare at Alaska beacons and Zone 21 channel.

LSF should somehow, operate silently and swiftly, not yell on the comms, halt or die sorta thing on smugglers or a Liberty Rogue and co. Thats the LPI's job right? Patrolling gates and lanes is both LPI and LN's job too.

The LSF are like spies, ear to the ground and guarding high security areas within Liberty.

Basically, are the LSF players following the LSF faction branch's job? I never LSF NPC's, why? Secrecy.

Discuss.
