If you are part of the RSF or Smuggler alliance factions. Corsec Faction Privateers can't kill rebels.

That's why I love the Smuggler alliance: If it flies, I'm allowed to kill it.

You Sir, are incorrect. CorSec pilots can attack, damage and kill any faction target. I flew with an imperial group on Tempest just two nights ago doing 8 of their missions and ruined many a rebel's day, being a CorSec pilot! I am pretty sure I have even killed CorSec targets early on and I am going to go hunt some down to confirm.
It seems most accurate reports say the Smugglers' Alliance is the same, with the possible exception of not being able to kill Hutt ships.
If you are going to always hunt rebels with imperials, RSF seems the logical choice, since you would avoid problems of being able to kill and be killed by your groupmates and your/their specials.
He's not incorrect, and neither are you. There are CorSecs in my guild that cannot help the Imps, because as he said, they get that alarm sound when they shoot the rebels.
However, there are other CorSec that can.
So, you are both correct. But, it is safe to assume that there is a chance that you will not be able to do damage.

I am a master CorSec pilot, as well as several other ace pilots on different characters. I my experiences, the only targets I can not damage are other CorSec ships and those ships that are part of someone else's missions. Perhaps the Corsec pilots out there that can not damage rebels or those than can not damage imperials are trying to do so to someone's elses target or mission ship.
There is several missions as a CorSec pilot in which you must hunt down imperial targets.There is also a mission in late tier 2 or early tier 3 in which you must hunt down rebels who have been stealing CorSec transports.
I have hunted rebels, imperials and pirates since becoming a master. I have tried to damage a CorSec gunship during a friend's mission and could not do so even though the gunship was to be destroyed according to the mission.
Just stating it from my point of view. Your results may varry.
