SwissScorch, I gave long and hard thought about the order IFF and ID both when we picked it and recently as a review in response to your question/suggestion.

It was origionally considered to pick a Pirate ID, but it really doesn't suit. The legion are not pirates. We do not take a cargo, and the only money they would be demanded would be for replacement of ammunition and effort spent on chasing them down and destroying their cargo. Those aren't the actions of pirates. The Pirate tag also has baggage associated with it that doesn't quite fit with how interactions with traders go. For example, my Character likes to have his supplies of oxygen, water, food, and h-fuel fairly well supplied. If I were to approach a trader with my charatcer holding a Pirate ID, the trader would assume that I was out of RP if I attempted to purchase 20 H-fuel from them. Contrast that to playing an Order ID, the ID fits a little better.
The same confronted trader, when encountering an Order ID, wouldn't feel it too far out of RP if I demand the Alien Artifacts in his hold and blow them up, but the same trader requested that from a pirate who leaves the rest of his cargo alone, which might consist of millions of credits worth of diamonds or cardimine, might scratch his head and wonder why the pirate blew up the Alien Artifacts and then still demanded a fee from him, and yet didn't touch the rest of the cargo. The Order IFF was picked because it seemed the most appropiate at the time. This might cause some issues if the Order considers us hostile from the exile and we engage them in a place where order patrols fly, but we still think it is a much better representation amongst the rest of the area, and nothing fits quite like it.

Yes, our stance with the order is Neutral, and yes it is a little odd considering that we are holding the Order ID, but really our stance with pirates would be neutral too. It is a whole complex pot, and it's set to neutral mostly because I have no clue as to yet how our RP interactions between us and the other player order would go. Our current RP puts us as exiles. Is there tension? Is it a reluctant Exile? is it a "Good Riddance!"? Is it something that we will need to work out with the Be| leadership, exactly how they view our exile. It might restrict us from Omicron Minor and Omicron 100, it might restrict us from all of the Omicrons as a whole, or it might just be "You can't fly with us, but feel free to fly near us."
I'm deliberatly leaving it open so we can provide fun and interesting RP interactions between the two groups. Given what we do and how we do it, I still feel that order IFF and Order ID are the most appropiate, despite the fact that we might have strained relations with the order. Then again, we might not. That's for the Be| to work out with Euros on how the exile was conducted. I personally am in favor of a whole RP scene, but I advise against it unless we can get some Pre-approval for the process, since the whole "No ZOI" seems to tweak quite a few noses here, and it's a big part of our RP.

I do hope that the Community as a whole eventually finds our RP acceptable, and we will continue working with everyone here until we have something good hammered out that actually has a shot of being approved by the Admins.

Thank you everyone!
