[WhiteKnight30303]

In direct contrast to yesterday's fiasco, I had a quiet day today.
-----
The first person that contacted me was asking me to bring him parts from Barrier Gate, which I obviously refused.

The second:

Midnight.Express: // I have an IC ID but the ID IFF isnt showing
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // Open your F8 menu and scroll tot he bottom
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // Is it flashing green?
Midnight.Express: // nope lol oops
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // Have you done any missions for them yet?
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // Just buying the ID won't give you the affiliation, you must do missions for the faction as well
Midnight.Express: // notreally im in a Mastodon.... it would be hard and idk wherer to find them
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // Try Newark Station in New York
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // You could hire and escort to do them for you
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // However, with Interspace Commerce, you don't need the IFF, you just need the ID
Midnight.Express: // okay, i gotta finish this route and get off, i can do it tomarrow

The third:

Felyx_Vantera: Hi, I'm a new player and I have a question about ship usage, if you have a moment.
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // Sure.
Felyx_Vantera: //I looked at the chart on the forums, but I'm not sure I follow. Tagged as a civilian, am I allowed to use House freighters
Felyx_Vantera: or transports?
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // Using a civilian ID, you cannot use large transports.
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // Generally if you wish to remain neutral and still use a larger ship, you would get a Freelancer ID.
Felyx_Vantera: // What about House freighters, like the Humpback? Okay.
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // The civilian ID is generally only for new players
Felyx_Vantera: //Okay. Thanks for your help.
[The_Angels]WhiteKnight: // Any time.
