Privateering Role-Play, Opinions?

[Diomedes]

So, I am pretty close to having a set-up Bretonnia privateer. I had a couple of questions just to see how people tend to regard the ID and one rules question.

First the rule: ID allows no access whatsoever to the Sigma system. BAF wiki lists Sigma-13 as a privateer staging ground. The ID rule takes precedence I would think. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

As for how the ID is regarded, to most people see the privateers as a secretive raiding group for disrupting trade or a more blunt military formation to strike behind the front lines?

When i first conceptualized the character I assumed I could sort of "disappear" into Kusari, staging from GC bases and even using a ship that would not immediately scream BAF (was actually going to see about requesting GC VHF before I checked and saw the red box, as kind of a blending in with local resistance RP).

My last question then is any suggestions for a ship that might work well with this "blending-in" approach in mind? I tend to prefer heavy fighters or light VHFs.

In the end, I'm guessing there's multiple ways to play the privateer. Just though I'd get the community's 2 cents.
