Announcement: Interspace Commerce ID

[Karst]

I know you've made the clarification on this, but it still reads like you can pirate ANYONE in a system with a trade lane. Also why exactly can't they pirate gallic corporations? I feel like that'd be one of their major targets, considering their attempts at pushing their trade lanes into Sirius.

I still wouldn't have both "in their ZOI (all systems with trade lanes)" and also "outside house space" on the ID at the same time. Maybe "systems outside of house space containing sirian trade lanes"?

I'm not really sure how to make the line more clear? I don't know how "Can engage in piracy against non-Gallic Corporate ships" could be interpreted as meaning anything other than "can pirate Corporate ships which are not Gallic".
As for why they can't pirate those, that's because the piracy line represents the leverage that IC has over other companies that rely on their loans and insurance, and their financing of lanes. Gallic corporations (or Junkers, Zoners, others) cannot be pressured by IC's corporate power because they don't depend on them.
One might also call this a small balancing favour towards Gallic corporate IDs, which are very bad otherwise.

The out-of-house competitor lines are just corporate archetype lines. Almost all corporate IDs have those.

I think it should be

This Liberty Corporate ID is used by employees of Interspace Commerce, who:
- Can engage in piracy against competitors in Independent Worlds.

Within Zone of Influence (Systems containing a Sirius Trade Lane):
- Can engage in piracy against non-Gallic Corporate ships, except for cargo.

Yes, "outside of House Space" is technically the same as "in the Independent Worlds", but we've used the former in all IDs so far.

Then kindly fix the IDs - Future IC and current Xeno Alliance.
Explicitly state what they can attack: Ships or IDs.
Not ship = player character. ID = player character, cause the ID has the descriptive lines and its limitations.
Thank you.

There is no need to change this wording, because pretty much everyone understands that ID lines referring to "ships" of a certain classification means "ships flown by player characters" of a certain classification. If you have a line targeting Rogues, that obviously means a Liberty Rogue flying a ship, not the Bloodhound itself. That's just metal.
I don't know if you're just being obtuse, but this is a common sense thing that's pretty much universally been understood perfectly fine.
