Best Researcher IFF? - Jake.Watson - 11-27-2009
I'm thinking about trying a Researcher ID'ed character. I find the concept and even the tradgood limitations quite interesting. I was thinking maybe Cryer or something since it seems fairly apt. I don't really want to be tagless or fall back on the "default" of Freelancer......
Also the ID mentions "Nomad remains" as a tradeable commodity etc, which I assume means dead Nomad brains etc.....regarding other stuff one might aqquire in the same way..weps and powercells and so on I assume one would still need the two licences for Bretonia and Liberty to actually truck 'em around or possibly use use Lazers etc.? By the way, what is the situation regarding Nomad stuff in Rhineland and Kusari? I suppose you need "papers" there too but can't seem to find threads about that specifically.

I would suggest using a Freelancer ID if your researcher isn't faction affiliated. As for the papers, you can write up an RP story on your researcher first, and then send out messages to the governments in the 'Communication Channels' asking for approval.
P.S. If you didn't already, check out our Wiki. You can find a lot of info on there.

I think Cryer/ Freelancer.
Cryer is IFF of Cambridge Research Institute operatives.
Also, Ageira, Kishiro, Samura, Zoners, any house military, Order, [ Hellifre, SCRA, Colonial (if you're accepted) ]
But all requies RP.

Cool, I thought Cryer might be a good choice. Also Cryers dubious activities regarding human experiments and trading in human organs etc fit nicely into the RP for an extremely dodgey and suspect "Evil" academic type up to no good [altough, obviously a researcher can't handle those himself]........Indeed, at the cost of re-buying either Standard Cryer or Researcher IDs such a guy could stay perfectly in character and also have a wide range of activities all tinged with "white coller" type corporate crime, drugs, smuggling and related medical stuff.......One of the things about Researcher ID which amused me was that it is pretty much a euphonism for smuggler in certain regards re Card and Gaian Wildlife etc. Many large corporations have a tendancy to feel that the Law somehow doesn't apply to them, so it all seems to fit. Its kinda a pity that Researcher Id doesn't already allow carrying Organs which would be perfect but as I say buying new Ids intermittantly will cover that [as long as that isn't considered Bad Form, in which case I'll stick with Researcher] thanks a lot for the helpful input fellas.

just don't use transports. freighters are max class for researcher i think.
Best Researcher IFF? - Barrier - 11-29-2009
Researcher ID allows transports. Also, remember that the transporting of all the materials in line 1 is strictly prohibited to anyone but researchers. Researchers can carry only a specific amount, check this out to find out how much.
