' Wrote:Civilian IDs can't attack anyone, according to the rules...if you wanna protect newbies against pirates, maybe IC would be a more appropriate faction, or Agiera, or some other corp (but don't go haring off into nebulas/asteroids after pirates, that is just wrong).
They won't have to use civilian ID to role-play a civilian faction. Military ID would work great for what they are trying to do - it will let them engage pirates and demand contraband from smugglers.
