Mercenary ID

[Athenian]

Ok which idiot wrote that?? That statement is completely up to your interpretation of it.

It weren't me, You Honour. Honest, 'twere like that when I gots here.

Well, interpretation of it will have pretty big consequences. If a mercenary can pirate, then how often is "on regular basis".

The actual words from the ID infocard in game:
"Mercenary ID owner is not allowed to pirate or trade on a regular basis."
Does it mean
a. not allowed to pirate. may trade but not regularly
or
b. may pirate but not regularly. may trade but not regularly.

If you look at the rules on PvP engagment...

6.15 Owners of Bounty Hunter/Mercenary/Freelancer IDs have a right to attack:

- Pirates
- Traders ships carrying smuggled goods and refusing to drop them
- (not for FL ID) Lawful and unlawful players with a bounty on their heads

6.17 Owners of Pirate IDs have a right to attack:

- Military/Police
- Bounty Hunters
- Trader ships that do not pay for passage
- Unfriendly pirates

It appears a merc by himself could ask for money but could do nothing if refused.
But if he was with a pirate, then the pirate could pay him to detroy a trader that didn't cough up.
