If you are roleplaying as an Outcast-affiliated merc, personally, I would tell you to get an Outcast ship. I got lots of flak when I first started my mercenary, back in the ol' day. IMG gunboat working for the Outcasts? I'm surprised I wasn't killed over and over again.
If you are flying a Spatial, perhaps you should use IMG weapons only. This would be roleplayed as you acquired a full ship, with weapons (no matter how bad they are).
For example, my mercenary Robert Fitzgerald has a BH Bomber and is hated by the BHG. Report? I don't really think so... It was the most suitable ship at the time, and I haven't pvp-whored up in it. Although I was friendly with the Outcasts, you don't see the BH bomber with Krakens and an Inferno. I use only BHG and Zoner weapons, so the ship was roleplayed as "stolen" with guns already. I haven't tweaked the ship out at all, so the attitude behind it isn't towards PVP.

Actually its a bit backwards, its a merc doing jobs for outcasts or hired by outcasts.

Heh the most suitable ship for me right now is the spatial (where did they got its design? I have no idea but its darned cool)
I am trying to downgrade from outcasts to zoners temporarily, but building resources first, I'm short 3 boxes for full friends with zoners but don't know how to increase it further, I do know how to lower the rep with outcasts when I head out of omicron systems. a merc working for zoners sounds good to me.

Go to any Zoner Freeport or Zoner base and get a bribe.
' Wrote:mmm.. Well, the way I read the rules, the merc, freelancer, trader,pirate tags would be the one that would actually allows the combo I'm putting together.
No ID allows what you did.. Those IDs mean you can pick a ship from either side (Pirate with Sabre and Krakens, or a Titan with tizzys and Salamancas) But NOT to mix OORP equipment together. There is absolutely nothing in the mod that allows IMG ship, with BHG weaps to be docking with OC and having OC tag..

Get your F1 menu out and hit select new character and select the same character and keep doing it until the barman offers you a Zoner bribe. Patience.:)

If he is already in the green, the bartender isn't going to give him another one. Patience doesn't help here..
Since your already green, go kill BHG ships. That'll raise your Zoner rep.
I do not think a zoner tag work's for a merc, since zoner's are neutral to all. IE who can you shoot? nobody because they are all neutral to you.So if you are hired to kill ohh lets say GMG you will be screwing the pooch.:nono:

Maybe not, but its a start to correct the outcasts problem I'm having, besides doubt most players are not hostile to a faction or 2, for the zoner tag yeah would have to work on neutrality, but as merc with zoner friends would defuse the previous issue.
Okay, first off, if I was around I would have went "du-WHA???" at that equipment setup, it has nothing to do with player factions dictating stuff. If I was an Outcast I probably would have shot you, IMG ship + BHG weapons + Mercenary ID + Outcast tag looks more like a spy than anything else (a bad spy, but a spy nonetheless). I would have asked for some rhyme or reason before just shooting you, but I would still be in a very hostile mood.
Just because a ship looks appropriate doesn't mean you should use it, think Order (Hi Tenacity, I didn't agree with that one either). If you ARE going to do something like that, write up extensive forum RP for it first, get comments, and THEN do it. Exhibit A, zapp's Wesley Richter story.
