Admin Notice: Tech Chart Changes

[Knucklehead]

Edison Trent, the most famous Freelancer, was outlawed by the 4 houses during the SP storyline,

Technically speaking, he was never declared an enemy of Bretonia. But at any rate, based on the current definitions, Trent acted more like a Mercenary in the single player campaign. He took jobs from a government agency to help fight crime, and wound up getting caught up in the rest due to planet/station side circumstances more than anything. Think about it: Freeport 7 gets blown up around him, the guy he was making a trade arrangement with at the time gets framed for leading a terrorist organization, a thief gets shot while talking with him, leading to the events at Manhattan... Had he not been caught up in these events, chances are pretty good he would have just gone on as a simple trader while the nomads took over and we end up with a whole different game.

What does this have to do with the tech chart, Freelancers, and Mercenaries? Simply this: Trent's actions should not be the sole basis for our definitions, simply because they are far from typical for most people on this server.
