Mercs...

[slashhammer]

but there are also some ships that are close to one or two select factions and would be very hard to get because you need rank or to be part of the faction, for example the blood dragon's infocard says its handed down from father to son ect,ect, and a merc just comes along and buys it. Or an arbeiter, that's rare among the LWB and you probably need rank to get it, then a Merc just skittles along with full pockets and flys off in it.

Easy solution

for the ooRP loadout/ship combinations, make all equipment and ships need a good to very good
(80-90%) rep with the faction selling it to be able to buy them, big part of the problem solved.

On the otherside then there sure will be smart ones just order a ship at Sirius Shipyards or buy
weapons from an armsdealer, but there still would be less ooRP seen.

Or like already suggested, restrict unaffiliated Mercs to civilian line ships/weaps, same to
Freelancers and other generic ID users.
