Alright, I am gonna adress two of your points. The third one doesn't really matter sinces its hard to syick with Rp weapons.
1/ The Rheinland bomber. If I was a rheinland admiral, giving out millitary grade weapons to Known pirates would be the LAST thing I would do! And Rheinland is not even at war with liberty! Mabey in the final of the mod but not now! When I have a liberty absed pirate and I attack traders and do missions to get pirate ID, Rheinland goes down. They WOULD NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS give uot bombers to lane hackers.
2/I agree. No one Hires Mercs. At least not unlawful ones. You guys really wanted to be them, you would have stuck with the lawful side of things. The SSO are already BHG so it works for them. My saugestion to you guys. Restrict ships, drop the merc bit.
