We cut that line. OSC isnt longer allowed to hunt slavers, 'cause their primary business is to transport passengers and to run vacation locations. Justification is that OSC could hire mercs etc. to get rid off the slavers, or leave it to the authorities. Just as Wuselkobold would do it (if I understand him right - PM me, if not).
With the same argument you can cut the hole line. OSC could also hire mercs or call the authorities to deal for them with pirates and the gaians. But what would happen if you do this?
The few players using an OSC-ID and who doesnt fly a Liner/transport with it will go to other factions/IDs, because the ID becomes worthless for them. OSC would no longer have the ability to pull of a fighting wing, to secure their bases on their own.
With that argument you can cut this from nearly all corporate IDs. BMM could get mercs to fight against Daumann. Kruger should let Rheinland fight the Red Hessians. And so on.
Hawaii is located outside of jurisdiction of any house. No authorities to call, Mercs need a lot of time to get there. Curacao is located in an Independent System. Yes, there's the treaty of Curacao, that states that BAF and LN are allowed in Cortez, but how often do you see one of them there? Shetland is 40-50k away from the nearest lawful base. Only Baden Baden is secure since Stuttgart is only one Lane away. OSC has to have its own fighters to secure these bases. And in order to make this some interesting to the players, you are allowed to hunt pirates - to secure the trade route. And gaians - 'cause Shetland is their main target. And slavers - because their primary inRP target are OSC-Liners.
Look you still say that OSC BMM or anyother group are using their fighting wings to protect their bases , their transports , liners etc. SO STILL the main reason that for this particular case OSC has fighter wings are escorts and patrols for SECURITY reasons not for HUNTING reasons... the house authorities , hunters , mercs are the people that OSC would prefer to go and "take care" of pirates,slavers and other dangerous types.:)If any faction who is most likely not agressive civilian corporation who is based on trading or giving any services NOT connected with war would be able to kill and hunt the pirates and WOULD DO SO - so why anybody would need freelancer - mercs - hunters - police or House navy? It would be unneeded job cause they would simply join the OSC for example and start their own hunt under it's ID.
