BHG and Core ID re-drafts

[carlabrams]

I prefer to think of the Bounty Hunters as a company, than a police force.

I think Ath was being slightly sarcastic with his comment, but I could be wrong. (Probably not - but those of us who regularly play bounty hunters are used to the generic interpretation as being auxiliary police.)

Of course, at the same time, in all of the house spaces, if the duly appointed government forces involved do ASK us for help, we'll give it.

Derk, there was a LOT of discussion both in Skype and on the forums about the ID issue. One of the biggest issues was that - boiling it down to the essence - pirates wanted all hunters to be neutered. Also don't forget that this was before the S/D (Ath, me, and our crew) merged with the Core (Tic and his compadres) to form the new and improved BHG| / BHG|Core.

That's another reason why we're trying to make the ID's actually fit the reality of gameplay. As the admins have stated in the past, we can't 'restrict' cap ship purchases and/or roleplay of the indies that buy our ships. But if we make the ID's reflect how a hunter should be played - which is NOT as the Sirius police, but as (effectively) paid assassins. (Since the game mechanics don't allow us to 'capture' our enemies, per se.)

And actually, Night, there's a lot more resources behind the Core than just the actions of the regular BHG. But that's not for this post... :cool:
