IFF/ID help

[elrica]

Thanks for the advice. I have a number of other ideas floating around .I'm just unsure of what will happen in 4.86 regarding ID restrictions and such.

Basically, I am making a faction similar to ICMG but I would wish them to be a more Quasi-lawful neutral faction, rather than being tied to anybody else's ID. Purely so we can have total freedom in progressing our RP. I'm also making a new faction because I don't want to trample all over ICMG's lore and stuff.

My ideas at the moment are either:

• a Gallic commune (inspired by historical events, a short-lived pre-communist/anarchist Parisian uprising), distinct from the council, but probably friendly.
  
• or basically SCRA IFF'd indie miners or something. (the main problem being, not getting shot at whilst transporting the ore:P)
  

However, the restrictions on generic IDs are pretty annoying. I'm not quite sure how one is supposed to go about making a faction with unique RP if there are no IDs to accommodate it? The only solution as I see it is to either:

• use Freelancer ID's for our defence forces (primary) and Miner IDs for our economy (secondary), which seems a bit "wrong way around". And just hope that people still want to join a faction with nerfed IDs.
  

or:

• to pinch an unused ID. Although, I doubt there will be any suitable new IDs in 4.86.
  

Where can I find information on 4.86 regarding IDs and mining spots that will be available in Gallia?

And thanks again for the help.
