UC are dead hostile to Outcasts because of their NOX trade. The Outcasts' Cardamine is competition to their drug trade and therefore they try to keep it out as good as possible. They are also hostile to (Gallic) Junkers, afaik. They are "unfriendly-neutral" to lawfuls, partially working with them against some unlawfuls, while also being "neutralish" to Gallic unlawfuls. They are pretty much like the Hogosha. I'd suspect some subgroups of the Brigands to hate them quite a lot.
Of course UC aren't appreciated much around Kusari, Liberty, Bretonia and parts of Rheinland (Republican rephack at -.55?). Quite a difficult balance they keep with their reputations.

Slightly different question: On an Outcast ID, would I be able to pilot a Shire or Shetland / Akegata or Kusari 5K'er / Bison or Mastodon @ 75%? (is the tech chart on the wiki correct and am I reading it right?)
And would that severely hamper it's combat performance or is it pretty insignificant?
Gallic Junkers are your best choice here, although Freelancer ID will also work (but that works for everything). The perk of not using the PTrain as them is that you're not going to get stopped by them for having an illegal ship. If you're hauling Cardamine though, well your ship isn't much of a problem then.
Gallic Brigands are the only other group in Gallia who work with the Outcasts but of course they are hostile to lawfuls.
EDIT: Outcasts get 75% on Shire, Bison, Shetland and Mastodon. The latter two don't have enough firepower to make a difference anyway, but you may feel the drain a bit on the battletransports.
Thanks a lot, I have a few ideas now. One final question and the thread can be closed: With the new rephacks can I put a Freelancer IFF on a transport with Outcast ID?
