It bugs me that you're unable to wear factional armor without it putting you into disguise mode. It closes your options. Has anyone thought of making a mod that makes the disguise based on any other criteria? Maybe a toggle or simply some dependence on closed helmets?
There's several mods that make armor that doesn't have the faction script, and there's one interesting one that gives you a droppable IFF tag that lets you wear any armor without being mistaken for that faction.
