Freelancer ID now and in 4.85 - jpo - 10-26-2008
Quote: Freelancer ID
Pilot carrying this ID is a lawful Freelancer who works for him/herself, unwilling to join any of the Sirius factions. Freelancer ID grants its owner right to participate in lawful missions and military operations, fulfil lawful and unlawful bounty contracts, escort traders, hunt pirates and terrorists. Freelancer ID owner is not allowed to pirate and openly join unlawful forces.
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats
You could smuggle with this ID, non? and also in 4.85?

Not as far as I can see. You can only participate in military operations, fulfill bounties, hunt pirates, and escort traders (not trade yourself).

rather confusing as freighters and transports are allowed ships.

Have you seen the Luxury Liner? It's 8/10 of a gunboat. Plus freighters and transports can be useful for RP.

I think you can, but it shouldn't be your main operation.
As a freelancer you should be doing a bit of everything.
Trading most likely is allowed on a minor scale... Smuggling i doubt, Freelancer ID is the more lawful, a mercenary ID for smuggling would be more apt.
Just my $.02

It just seems it would be easier to convert smugglers, mercs, and traders to freelancers for 4.85, at least for me. Seems if there is no smuggler ID that would mean you would have to have a Junker or pirate ID to smuggle. Thats why I am asking for clarification now, so that when the mod does roll around, I'm not screwed.

Going back to the allowable ship per ID list, you find three and a half categories categories:
RP - well within RP for that ID
OK* - there are circumstances where it's acceptable just because of how you've found yourself
OK - acceptable without there having to be extraordinary circumstances
NO - NO (Seriously, we mean NO!)
Adv. Train OK*
Armored Tr. RP
Bactarian RP
Behemoth OK*
BW Transport RP
Bumblebee RP
Camara RP
Container Tr. OK*
Firefly RP
GMG Miner OK*
Heavy Lifter RP
Heavy Tanker OK*
Ku. Cruise Liner RP
Ku. Transport OK*
Kushan Freig. RP
Large Train OK*
Large Transp OK*
Luxury Liner OK*
Mammoth OK
Mining Ship OK
Percheron OK
Pirate Train OK
Pirate Trans OK
Prison Liner OK*
Repair ship RP
Royal Liner NO
Train OK*
Transport OK*
Turanic Raiders FR RP
Whale OK*
I know there was a lot of thought put into this list. As far as the trading aspect of the game is concerned - you're a freelancer. I've gone through the stage with my freelancer character where he had an assortment of smaller craft (different fighters), an armored transport, a Firefly for the longest time, and now he runs around in an Orca doing pretty much whatever the hell he wants to - haul cargo, escort ships, explore the galaxy. As long as he makes payroll for his crew - and I RP him as a freelancer - then who cares what I do?
And btw, I have, upon occassion, shipped a cargo that's been less than legal or two using this ID. It's not my main occupation - if you're PRIMARILY engaged in smuggling, then you should have a smuggler ID. Since freelancers, by the nature of their way of life, can find themselves out in the boonies, sometimes hauling a load of artifacts or synthetic marijuana is the only way to pay the bills. I live by my code of ethics - won't touch cardi or slaves, and mostly I do legal stuff.

Carrying contraband is not a server rules issue unless the ID specifically prohibits carrying contraband. If you can trade in legal goods then you can smuggle contraband. The only thing to watch out for are the cops.
And that ship per ID list is not officially endorsed, yet.
