Yeah, the whole thing is one big clusterfrak because of Discovery's tech laws and all that junk. These ships would have the IFFs of the militaries they left with Pirate IDs. They'd be flying full kit, if not close to full kit (i.e. class 8s) military fighters and have a handful of freighters, transports, and a prison liner to haul booty around with. Because of all the stupid tech chart stuff, the 'entire group' would need a single massive SRP, something like:
Quote:- All officially \HB/ tagged ships are allowed to use military fighters from Bretonia, Liberty, Rheinland, and Kusari (Yeah, Jake, no Gallic stuff yet, nor Outcast/Corsair. Just the four main ones). They are also allowed to keep the IFF tag of the associated militaries involved (Exception: FR5ing a former LN fighter as the LN would remove the tag, therefore I'd like it if you could FR5 it for everything 'but' the main tag of a given fighter. I.e. a Bretonian Templar is hostile to both LN and LN guard, but a Guardian is hostile only to LN Guard in order to maintain the LN IFF. Since there won't be a large number of a single type of fighter, this removes possible abuse; a guardian won't be shot at while every other Hawkbat is).
- All officially \HB/ tagged ships are allowed to use class 8/9 military weapons so long as they match the type of vessel they are installed on (i.e. Hornvipers on a Wraith. Exception: freighters use turrets, so probably include class 4/5 military turrets just so that these things aren't utterly helpless).
- \HB/ with pirate IDs is allotted one Prison Liner class ship to use as a mobile base of operations In-RP.
- \HB/ with pirate IDs are allowed to fulfill unlawful bounty contracts and take on-the-spot escort contracts (meshing together the pirate/merc ID).
A tall order, to be sure. Note the stressing on the "officially tagged" bit; I'd have a constantly updated unit roster available for the admins to see so that if some punk slaps the tag on and tries to abuse this SRP he can get his butt kicked clear out of Sirius. Alternatively, if I boot someone out I'd remove their name from this list; since this isn't an official faction I don't have FR2 on my side, but removing the name from that list removes the SRP for that individual, which means they can get rapidly sanctioned.
