How to make official factions better?

Work's both way's. Even an indie Corsair should not be in say liberty. But yet i still see it. Hmmm... is this what factions call "restricted"?

You realize this strengthens my stand, not yours, right? Factions don't have control over where indies go and what indies do. If you are seeing indie pilots doing things against thier id/faction then you are helping to prove my point.

Ok, in Freelancer, factions = communities/societies. Being a freelancer doesn't mean you aren't a part of any communities and societies, it means you work for yourself, your profits are your own. You still have to obey the dictates of the societies you are in. If you are a freelance journalist in america you don't get to own slaves and smoke in the non-smoking section just because you don't work for a large company. Yet, this is what the indies are arguing for in this thread. They want the abillity to be called Corsairs, without following the dictates of the Corsair society. But if you don't follow the dictates of a society, you cease to be a member of that society. You will either be kicked out or imprisoned. Since the heads of factions can't do anything more than put contracts out on indies that are misbehaving and ignoring the role, they get away with it. I'm saying lets put limitations on thier abillities to do so. That isn't unfair, everybody else in the game has abide by the limitations, work within the system, why shouldn't they have to?
