Corsair ''laws'' are literally RP fluff, they are just guidelines, given the way the Corsair ID works. There's no way to ''powergame it'' because there's ID limitations. Before people start crying ''Oh the poor indies'', they should look at facts. DTR has never ordered indies anything in the last 2 years since our existence. Nor have we ever FR5-ed another faction or indie. On the contrary, when I was leading DTR, we even tried to involve other non-official factions in our government. We've also supplied XR for about 2 years to whoever wanted them.

If someone is bypassing a faction entirely by making a disposable ship from the same faction in order to avoid any consequences - that's the literal definition of power gaming / metagaming. What's the proper recourse in this situation? Make an alt Core/OC so I can shoot at them? I asked genuinely how can one counter-play that within the rules of the game. Admittedly, I hardly play Freelancer these days, but I am yet to see any RP deal being proposed by any faction, or anyone even attempting at bargaining/negotiating inRP or otherwise. I dunno, maybe I am old-fashioned but I like to negotiate with people - that's kind of the whole point of an RP server.
Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
