Merc ID

[Mickk]

If it was a single player, a similar thing would happen, except it would not be a war, it would be perfectly acceptable RP revenge.
Right here. I've removed the irrelevant portions. This is the mercenary ID I am proposing, almost exactly.

No fighting with RP reasons (i.e. mucho dinero) or being shot at, which would then be self-defense/revenge. Mercenaries should not shoot ANYONE without reason. A reason could even be, if a fight has already started, "I bet they'll pay me." or, in a private message, "I could help you win, for a small fee of, say, X credits.."

Besides that, mercenaries don't (and shouldn't) make alliances. They aren't going to start a war, they only thing they do is fight for other people.

No policing. No pirating. Of course, black mail is always on the menu. Such as, "I see you have a load of contraband, there. You will pay X credits or I'll report you to the authorities." or the mercenary could go to the authorities first and say, "I've found a smuggler. I'm following him. You pay me or I let him get away."

Ya know what?

What Virus has written above pretty much describes exactly the way I play NOW.... except for the blackmail thing, I hadn't thought of that and probably won't stoop to doing it.

I don't go around shooting people for the heck of it, but if someone asks (with a good possiblilty of receiving $$$) I'll help them out.

I jumped at the Merc ID right from the start for all of my ships bar my Trader..... funny that huh :P

On a similar note, I was questioned about one of my ships being Rheinland, but mounting Liberty weapons by a player.

My response is that as a Mercenary, I purchase the best equipment I can get my hands on, by whatever means possible.
If that means buying things 2nd hand (including ships), looting old wrecks for weapons or using weapons 'salvaged' from the remains of ships I have destroyed, then that is what I do.
