I recently came across the Researcher ID while on my new character. And I must say, in RP I think it fits the RP better than the Freelancer ID. But there is a problem.

Quote:Price: 1000000 - Researcher ID
Pilot carrying this ID is a Researcher, who :
Can only trade in artifacts, alien organisms, Gaian wildlife, counterfeit software, cardamine, quantum multiplexors, bio-neural processors, nano-capacitors, scientists and nomad remains
Cannot fulfill bounty contracts
Cannot escort anyone
Cannot ally with anyone
Cannot attack anyone at all except in self defense
Cannot land on any unlawful bases except for Junker or Order bases
A Researcher using the Kusari Explorer cannot use any gunboat weapons, but may use level 5 turrets (or less).
Allowed ships: Freighters, Transports, Liners, Kusari Explorer (without gunboat weapons), Spatial
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime. The Researcher ID does not make you immune to piracy or being fined by lawfuls; pirates and lawfuls may choose at their discretion whether to exempt you.

Seems I will no longer be able to fly a fighter class ship, but the RP in Sentinel 100 series is a fighter class ship. I wish to change ID from a Freelancer to something else to avoid the local paranoid lol'wutters thinking that all Freelancers want to kill them.

Is there any other ID I can use? Also a dumb question, is it against the rules for a Kingfisher fighter to mount a researcher ID? In RP, the Sentinel 167 is on a mission of input. Think of the movie "Short Circuit".

yes

if you really want to avoid the freelancer ID just ask special permission from an Admin to use the researcher ID on a fighter/bomber.

I really would like to have the AI ID, but from what I can gather, I've got to fulfill a lot of criterion before I can even try. Like 25 in-game hours for a start, under the special role-play characters.

The AI id indicates the holder is an hostile artificial intelligence AI. Does that suit the sentinel?

Freelancer ID, Zoner tag may work for you.

Quote:Artificial Intelligence ID

Vessels carrying this ID are controlled by an artificial intelligence. If the vessel possesses a Tag/IFF, the AI is operating under the same permissions and restrictions as the ID associated with that Tag/IFF. Guard ID permissions require a Guard Tag/IFF. If the AI belongs to an official faction, its permissions and restrictions are those of the official faction instead of the following.

If the vessel does not have a Tag/IFF and does not belong to an official faction, it is a rogue artificial intelligence which :

* Can be attacked by anyone within server roleplay and PvP guidelines
* Can demand cargo only according to its written and Admin approved storyline
* Cannot demand credits from anyone
* Can only attack other vessels in self-defense or during piracy
* Cannot land on any House, corporation, or BHG bases
* Cannot ally with any House, corporation, or BHG vessels
* Cannot fulfill bounty contracts

An AI ID with a Tag/IFF is allowed ships according to the ID associated with its Tag/IFF
An AI without a Tag/IFF is only allowed to use ships listed in its approved application.
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, trading IDs, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime.
Deviation from these guidelines may result in loss of AI ID privileges.
Only given via Admin.

Looking at that, I'm still at risk of being lol'wutted and such, but at least it fits in with my RP, but according to the description, since I don't have a tag, I'll be classed as rogue! My Sentinel is pacifist more than anything... At least that is what it runs as now. Who knows how it'll turn out in the future, the Sentinel is influenced by others.

I don't believe a Zoner one would work, it would break the RP I'm running on, and Freelancer while makes me non-affiliated as I like, it leaves me open to abuse with paranoid or PvP'ing criminals.

there is always the neutral ID.

Don't give up, give them a good reason to support you.

Neutral ID? Hmm let me see here:

http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd2rzhwj_9ghgchgfc Wrote:Neutral ID
Pilot carrying this ID has declared themselves to be lawful and Neutral towards all factions.
* Cannot ally with anyone
* Cannot fulfill bounty contracts
* Cannot attack other players except in self-defense
* Cannot be attacked by any other players except in Guard systems or by mutual agreement
* Cannot join any faction, except factions that are Neutral themselves

Allowed ships: Fighters, Bombers, Freighters, Transports, Liners
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime.
Only given via Admin

I always assumed these ID's were for camera ships and possibly the Angels I'm guessing.

I could enquire about it, I'll ask an admin. If I do get this ID, it will be perfect for the Sentinel, thanks Balthazzar.
