Granted I understand the RP behind everything and I am willing to give people the benefit of the doubt with what they're up to, but it gets peculiar when you get for instance, say, an IMG IFF Technocracy ship. Under what situations does a bounty hunter (don't assume I mean BHG) open fire on that, what if they're hunting bounties for BMM targeting IMG ships, or Core bounties targeting Technocracy ships, which succeeds which? Or if a Bowex ship puts a bounty on a group of ships that was bothering it for Bret lawfuls to collect, while one of those ships was actually a BIS ship with a different ID? Would someone get in trouble if say a BAF ship shoots the BIS agent for having a pirate IFF rule wise because they're allied on paper as per ID? Can someone issue or collect a bounty solely on IFF or does the ID still need to be acknowledged?
As far as I know lawful and qwasi-lawfuls ID's can't be targets for the BHG bounties but it is a good question does IFF superseded the ID. As for the BAF BIS pirate situation the BIS player can blow his cover to the BAF to avoid being attack but that would have consequences. In a instance where the agent doesn't blow it it should be a legitimate kill.
