Byzantium, your ideas will surely NOT gain any support among administrators or players here. One of the few cases when I'm fully on Dab's side.
I also have multiple players on Discovery (or had, cause I'll hardly log on before the wipe). Everyone has. There are people who have 2 or even 3 accounts and use not even 5, but 10 and 15 chars swapping those accounts around. What's wrong with that? Most modern MMORPGs allow for multiple characters. Social-type games might not, because of direct connection between you and your character. But Freelancer is not a social sim but a space action/roleplay/sim game, and having multiple characters owned by one person is absolutely OK.
Accuse Dab of ego-boost? Did you read a few old Dab threads and thought we all hate him? Well, no one is ideal, but he's done more for this community than many.
To end this discussion, I'd just say that max allowed number of characters per account is not in any way related to the mod. Every server admin who has IFSO installed may set this number to 2, or 1, or probably 0. Any number, but no more than 5 (doesn't work for some reason).
