This sounds exceptional. I can just imagine the RP possibilities of the BAF/BPA having to cooperate with the Agents. The extreme freedom of MI6 would feel awesome, I've always hated having to turn back when an enemy exits BAF territory. It would make for some interesting things to watch as Agents work undercover in other House systems or even cooperate with the local authorities to find and extradite Bretonian criminals who escaped outside of BAF jurisdiction. An Intelligence Division Flagship and capital vessels would be awesome for long-distance or high-danger missions or for incursions into enemy territory for rescue/extraction of targets. A Bounty Hunter Destroyer (I think it's the black one) for example, would be perfect. They could be granted to high ranking intelligence officers who have been serving for a long time. They'd definitely see more action that BAF capships, and could support the privateers in their raids.
I'm curious to know how the MI6 will be able to switch between ships according to the mission/House system. Will they pick non-aligned craft like the Raven or Viper MK II for consistent use or will they have different character profiles with preset ships according to the House their mission is in, e.g. a Rheinland ship in Rheinland space, Kusari fighter in Kusari space, etc.? If MI6 agents are expected to change ships occasionally, it would be more cost-effective to make different aliases or slightly altered character names over the course of time with different House-specific ships and weapons, rather than to buy a new ship and loadout everytime the mission calls for traveling to a different House. I'm assuming that most smart players will have a decent trader vessel account to make some money to support their espionage activities.
Since I haven't yet got my 4 months in, keep me in mind for down the road, will ya?:)I think myself and a few other ensigns deserve a little credit for fending off pirates and villains with serious dedication after all the other BAFers have gone to sleep. It's usually me and one other guy out there, taking names and upholding the honor of the BAF by our lonesome. I remember Ensign A. Goodman is usually fighting the good fight by himself when I arrive to start my shift.
Someone should skin the BAF fighter models in stealth black with a special Special Operations logo for MI5 for the next Discovery Mod update.
