ID Rework - 5.1 Aftershock: Dev Diary #8, "In Search of The Wild West"

[Sombs]

I’d ask that House Intelligence have the rephack towards pirates reverted. Generic “pirates” are an excellent layer of deniability towards sketchy black ops. As the IDs are already quasi-lawful anyway, it stands to reason that a BIS agent would want to be sneaky and meet on somewhere like Ithaca, or a LSF agent fit in with a crowd of criminals. I say this as someone who had a Pirate IFF’d LSF Ahoudori.

I understand your reasoning, but having LSF/BIS/KOI/MND/GNI ships not get shot on sight by Ithaca's defense sounds incredibly unrealistic. If you want to be incognito, you don't fly those IDs in first place.

Barrier Gate and the other freeports are your alternative meeting spots, but having overt agents approach a pirate fortress is nonsense. That's like arguing that spooks can happily land on Buffalo, Mactan, Crete, Vogtland and what not.
