Terrorist ID: Is it even needed?

[Tenacity]

There always needs to be a level of danger prevalent everywhere in sirius. Pirates must demand cargo or credits, they cant scratch your trader otherwise. Pirates are also limited to gunboat or lower class ships when doing any sort of pirating.

Joker and his thugs were, more or less, using a loophole to create characters which could attack any lawful on sight, they didnt often pirate, so they werent really playing their ID's like they should have. A lot of unlawfuls are like that - an unlawful or pirate ID lets you readily pvp with any lawfuls you find, regardless of whether you're actually pirating or not.

Terrorist ID's are somewhat like the 'indy' version of the wilde, phantoms, and keepers. They can go anywhere, fly most ships, and are designed specifically for the purpose of creating fear by letting people know that they can and will attack even without reason. Space is not run by rules, sure you may have server rules or the laws of the houses, but there is danger everywhere, and the terrorists exist to remind you of that fact. Far too many traders and other characters in disco act smug and comfortable when they shouldnt.

The keepers, wilde, and phantoms have similar purpose. They dont care what ship you're flying or what you're doing, if they feel like killing you, you're gonna get killed. Of course, keepers are encouraged to be more selective in our killing than the other groups, but you get the point =P
