IFF/ID help

[Daedric]

I don't think there is any public information regarding 4.86 IDs. Zelot opened a thread and asked for faction leaders to PM him their desired changes to their ID and the admins would review them. Other than that nothing has been released, that I know about.

As for Gallic mining? You'll have to wait until 4.86. As a leader in the [GMS], I'm under the impression there aren't any mining sites in Gallia as Gallia has stripped mined the place dry to build up their massive <strike>epeen</strike> fleets.

I'm pretty sure all IDs can use gunboats next update, but that is just a rumor I heard. This would allow you to use the Miner ID for both your mining and defensive ships.

Using a SCRA IFF, you'll need to talk to Alvin. SCRA rep has to be adjusted by admins and you won't be able to land anywhere that ore sells.

I don't think there are any unused mining IDs.

As to creating a non vanilla faction from scratch? The admins seem to want things like that done using generic IDs, apply for officialdom, and then perhaps get your own ID. They don't seem to want factions to use faction IDs and role play a extreme shoot off of that faction just to get its tech (Like Hellfire Legion, not blasting you HL, but I don't think the admins will allow that anymore).

Basically, if you want a non vanilla faction, you've to suffer with generic IDs for awhile to prove you'll stick around once you get your own ID. Of course, this is ignoring that I hear the admins are considering letting officials have their own IDs. Again, that is rumor mill talk.

Sorry I rambled, I hope I helped.
