Barely. The actual issues have been addressed.
The Coalition ID is restricted up to maximum gunboat sized vessels while the SCRA ID is restricted to official faction members only, meaning the members of Onix| will not be allowed to fly any Typhoons by the server rules (6.9) and ID guidelines.
The Coalition ID is also connected to the Coalition's roleplay. While Coalition's roleplay and the one described in the original post to be of Onyx are similar in helping out civilians, yet differ when dealing with lawfuls. The Onyx has been written to collaborate with lawfuls, while the Coalition is quite the opposite, are against the authorities, as has been pointed out before me by official faction members. This can easily lead to situations where, again, 6.9 comes into my mind.
Furthermore, while our dear original poster wants to use the Coalition ID for their combat division, he wants to use other lawful IDs for their own civilian division. By my knowledge, using multiple non-generic IDs within the same faction/under the same tag has been frowned upon for long within this community, not just for officials.
Considering these, I hardly think the issue is just a simple mistake, as you may wish to imply.
I am hardly convinced IDs are to represent certain roles within the game, not to grant eye-candy shiplines with caps to pew with. You get the caps and other stuff to roleplay with, and play the role you have chosen when you picked your ID.
