To skip the long, boring story: My two old FL ID's are irretrievable due to misplacement of parchment and hard drive controller board toasting, and those said ID's are the very life and soul of my Multiplayer record.
So my question to all the tech-savvy people around here is:
Is there any, ANY way to recover MP FL ID's short a.) tearing up the house to look for a piece of parchment smaller than my hand, b.) finding another controller board of the exact same model of my HDD to repair it, or c.)Paying five grand to get data recovered from the HDD by professionals?
Or am I going to have to start all over again....?

No they can't. There is no record of anybody's multiplayer ID on the server.
What the Admins (or the Janitor) can do, is set a movechar code on the characters involved, so they can be moved to another account.
This is not done normally, since it is not the server nor the admin teams responsibility to safeguard YOUR account details.
In the future, use Freelancer Account Manager to export an ADF file containing all your account details.
Then use a webbased Email like Gmail, or Hotmail, to send that ADF file to yourself. That way you allways can get hold of the accounts by importing the ADF file into FLAM, and activating them again.

Edit: And I blame Zelot.
Ive had problems similar to this before, what I do is find a hard drive of the exact type and take its controller off, then remove the controller of the bad drive and replace it with the controller of the good drive, you have to be very careful if you do this, if this works then copy all of your data to something like an external hard drive or secondary, this will not always work but it generally has worked for me.
