For this example I'll use AW's ID. In case you had any disillusions, we are and always have been a military organization with a clear rank structure and policies.
Quote: Price: 75000 - Asgard Warriors ID
Pilot carrying this ID is a member of Asgard Warriors (AW). AW ID grants its owner right to trade, escort traders, hunt pirates and terrorists, fulfil bounty contracts, participate in military operations on lawful side, engage lawful ships as long as RP status allows to do so. AW ID owner cannot pirate or commit acts of terrorism.
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats, Cruisers, Battleships
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime. Using player faction IDs is not allowed for players who are not members of appropriate faction and for players who were expelled from the faction.
Quote: Price: 50000 - Rheinland Military ID
Pilot carrying this ID has joined the Rheinland Military. Navy ID grants its owner right to participate in military operations on lawful side, hunt pirates and terrorists, scan traders for contraband, and trade. Navy ID owner cannot participate in any unlawful actions and fulfil bounty contracts.
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats, Cruisers, Battleships
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime.
Is there something mission? Something about having to be in the player faction to have the ID? Something perhaps bolded in the first? I think its pretty clear that you can have the RM ID with or without the RM PC faction's permission, allowance, or blessing. In fact, you could have it and completely ignore the RM, as thats your right allowed by the ID. There are no rules here on forums that say you have to be in a PC faction either.. So what exactly says they must be in RM to be an NPC RMd IDd/Tagged Wrath? Where does it say that RM may fine/kill someone simply for using the ID they use, but do not own?
