Terrorist ID: Is it even needed?

[kuth]

You can predict the behavior of a pirate. You shouldn't be able to predict the behavior of a terrorist.

This is what it boils down to. This coming from a person who thinks these groups get to much leadway in PvP ability and coming from a member of these groups.

Want an example from one of my characters?

Victor hauls food to Crete because he knows the Corsairs are nice to people who do. He makes regular runs because he knows they keep track of those things. I just predicted their behavior.

Victor wouldn't provide anything to a terrorist on a regular basis because they may take 1/3 of my cargo one day, make me streak through Freeport 10 the next, or on Sunday kill me. It would take many many encounters with the same terrorist to build up a trusting relationship with one. Not so with pirates or other unlawfuls.
