In Texas System, on planet Houston there's a bounty hunter chick that gives you a rumor. Said rumor says she started bounty hunting when she was 14 and her dad took her with him on his spaceship and let her fly and catch some rogue. So ye, vanilla lore contradicts you.

Unless it was meant to fly into something without it returning.
Having kids work in hangers or other places to assist with their goals I can imagine however.
This ship is part of the Graveyard of the Innocents, where young Corsairs must prove their worthiness or perish in the process. Many of these ships contain Artifacts. "
So, in this context, minimum age for Corsair rp is the age where you managed to survive being slaughtered by aliens on a flimsy, rumored elsewhere to be weaponless, ship.
There are no furries in Freelancer, only people with a delusion that they are furries.
Also I'm sure a kid might be able to fly a spaceship, given they have the right height and such, but kids lack maturity (duh) and make a lot of wrong dispositions. That's part of life, building experience.
That is why it is the 16-21 year olds behind the wheel in so many car accidents - they are by far the biggest group. They make a lot of mistakes due to that lack of maturity and experience, and a solo kid fighter pilot will be prone to do the same and die to their own stupidity.

Unsupervised kid pilots is a dumb idea.
In the USA, perhaps. Such accidents are made by younger people do not exceed 20% in Poland, as far as I remember. The majority is done by middle-aged people who are late for work. Around 10% in here belongs to older people. Some of the accidents are caused by transporation drivers, who wants to deliver cargo as fast as they could - else fines within corporation.
I do agree 15 years old as battleship captain are idiotic, in majority of cases. But as I said, change of enviroment would force people to change their behaviour and stance, as spaceship and atmoships are the most common mean of travel in a such universe.
