Cruiser ID confusion.

[Ackarion]

Hello all,

I recently started a new character, LNS Greystone. I have Liberty Navy ID and Navy IFF also purchased a Basic Cruiser.

Now, I have had several ppl tell me I cannot have this ship, in addition, I must have a Guard ID.

My thought was if you had the Liberty Gaurd AssualtCruiser I would need the Guard ID.
I purchased the (basic)Liberty Cruiser at the Shipyard in NY.

SO, I worked my butt off to get the guard nuetral and to find out the id has the same stipulations as the naval id, I am really confused on what id to have and this is turning into less fun. I wish to participat in the RP portion properly without issue from too many know-it-alls.

What is the actual proceedure?

Oh yes, an individual stated I must join a faction here in Discovery now that I have a Capital ship.

Yours confused?
