Pilot carrying this ID has joined the Bounty Hunters Guild. Bounty Hunter ID grants its owner right to fulfil bounty contracts, escort traders, hunt pirates and terrorists, participate in military operations on lawful side. Bounty Hunter ID owner cannot participate in any unlawful actions and trade on regular basis.
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats, Cruisers, Battleships
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime.
And for your information, when I made the statement of the Capital systems falling, it was after the Lawfuls in those systems were wiped out not just because they were offline.
Robert, you want to run your bunch of BH as credit hungry mercs with shiny badges, go ahead.
I will run mine as shown in the ID and following the example of actual BH.
So far as I know there is no official spokesperson for the faction, so at this time I guess all this is is nothing more then a difference in opinion.
I never said they weren't lawful; it's just their priorities are vastly different from the houses. They hunt pirates not for protecting house space (unless contracted), not for defending their homeworld, but for cold Sirius Credits. It's stated in the Freelancer background and the infocards on bases and ships.
According to your reasoning, I'll make a Zoner and go around killing pirates around Sirius. Let me justify it using the ID:
Pilot carrying this ID has joined the Zoners. Zoner ID grants its owner right to fulfil bounty contracts, escort traders, hunt pirates and terrorists, participate in military operations on lawful side. Bounty Hunter ID owner cannot participate in any unlawful actions and trade on regular basis.
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats, Cruisers, Battleships
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime.
If you go by the ID, without consulting the roleplay background at all, you will encounter a lot of troubles. By looking at the Zoner ID, a Zoner can easily be a Sirius Policeman/woman. Is that in-character?
I eventually would like to lead a wing of Bounty Hunters. Hopefully we could show the server that Bounty Hunting doesn't equal killing pirates on sight. Is this your belief "The ID allows it, and the houses are getting owned by unlawfuls, so I'll screw the roleplay background and do whatever I want".
