Pirate ID

[Vulkhard Muller]

Freelancers don't have a carte blanche to attack any lawful target they so choose. The Pirate ID does. It's a matter of more freedom of action versus a bigger restriction in ship tech. Pirates have plenty of choices for their gunboats. They just need to either choose to take the proper ID with that gunboat, or take a hit in efficiency...
Indy pirates are NOT buddy-buddy with the local nay-do-wellers. They are competitors and will have a very tough time finding a proper base to maintain their ships. Which means either Junker bases, Zoner bases (the ones that don't care too much about pirates using their base as a staging area) or Freelancer bases. This is also the reason why the indy pirate ID is rephacked hostile to a few unlawful factions who requested it.

[Edit] As for getting attacked with your own tech - that's been happening for ages considering tech grants could not be revoked. The new method of tech "grants" just validates it as being allowed. Suppose it's yet another reason to try and bring most ships to different shaped but functionally identical designs.

then why not give Inde Pirates access to Junker Tech? i mean of corse Not the salvager i mean unless they got permission from the junkers which i doubt wont happen any time soon
