Vigilantes

[Derkylos]

The problem with Vigilante IDs is that they are quite restrictive. A lot of what can be accomplished with a Vigilante ID can be accomplished with another one, be that Pirate, Freelancer, Merc or possibly something else...while not being restricted to 7 ships.

Hell, mount up a Pirate ID, and you can hunt anyone anywhere (the restriction on ZoI for Vigilantes seems a little odd...no Vigilantes in Omega-3?), use any neutral or unlawful ship, use any neutral or unlawful weapons (admittedly, a vigilante can use lawful weapons...), can ally much more freely, can escort traders and can fulfill bounty contracts. The only things a vigilante can do that a Pirate cannot is to use lawful weapons and land on Bounty Hunter bases (which seems a little odd, really...first off, 'Hunters aren't going to be too keen on people stealing their work for free, and, second, vigilantes are kinda liable to get bountied by lawful entities (murder, even of a criminal, is still a crime..)). You can still RP the pirate IDed character as a "vigilante"...but also have much more freedom to expand your RP...
