Please Help me with ID and IFF concepts

[Corile]

IDs are associated with various reputation adjustments that ensure you don't do anything stupid (like docking a Rogue cruiser on a Police station). They also define a set of rules that you have to follow. IFF is just how other players see you.

1- Why are IDs and IFFs related? Why do I need BOTH a Freelancer IFF and a Miner ID in order to get the bonus from mining?

They aren't always related, but the mining thing is just game mechanics.

2- What happens if I have a IFF and a conflicting ID? for example, allegiance to the Liberty Rogues and a Liberty Police ID? Is that possible at all?

The situation you described - no. However it's generally bad taste to have conflicting IDs and IFFs and someone might decide to sanction you for this.

3- If I have green reputation with two factions, how can I switch from one IFF to the other?

Dock on a base and write /droprep.
