Freelancer ID

[Debug]

I have my own question about the Freelancer ID, and the faction in general.

I read the Discovery Wiki article on Tags and how the flashing faction in your reputation List is the Tag that shows.

However, even though I've seen people with the Freelancer Tag flying around, I have no idea how you can get the Freelancer reputation high enough to start Flashing! They have no allies or enemies, and I can't find any missions available in Freelancer owned bases (No mission currently available, try again later.)

I tried using Bribes at Freelancer bases, but it seemed to only get me up to 0.6 (6 positive bars) at most, I bribed twice too.

I assume in order to have the Freelancer faction to flash and Tag me, I need a rep of 0.9 (9 positive bars), not just buy a Freelancer ID? Can anyone clue me in on how it's possible to get Freelancer faction to flash and tag a player?
