As an unlawful player I do wish that faction tags didn't exist for a lot of the reasons mentioned earlier in the thread, being visible does invite ganks sadly, though that seems like a hard thing to fix within the current engine. The rest of the "being an OF player is worse than being an indie cause I *have* to RP" sentiment is just trash tho and indicative of the complete lack of standards OF have in this here Discovery Freelancer Roleplay 24/7 community
