another question on the Freelancer ID - Dart - 03-16-2010
whenever i try buying a boarder worlds transport in kirkwall base, orkney, i get a server error message that states something along the lines of that: my ID cannot handle the ship
the ship is a transport with 3,600 units of cargo
(im carrying a freelancer ID)
here is the Freelancer ID description
Quote:Pilot carrying this ID is a Freelancer, who :
* Can trade and escort traders
* Can fulfill lawful and unlawful bounty contracts
* Cannot pirate, but can provide security services for pirates who are pirating if paid to do so. Freelancers can only fire on traders or smugglers in self-defense or if the trader or smuggler fires on or is bountied by the Freelancers's employer.
* Cannot demand contraband unless specified in employer's bounty
* Cannot use any transports with more than 3,800 cargo
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Transports, Gunboats
can somebody please tell me what is going on?
thanks in advance

Yes, Cannon implimented a patch recently that prevents certain ships from being purchased without the correct ID. You can Indeed use the BWT with a Freelancer ID so this is just a bug.
I had the same problem with the Nomad Morph, your best bet is to simply <strike>pester</strike> PM Cannon about it. Take some screenshots of the problem and send them to him.
Here is the link to the thread for my Morph with screenshots. Let me know if this is whats occuring with you.

Whoops, the whole Freelancer ID wasn't working (annoyingly the FL ID has a nickname of dsy_license_civilian - guess what the civilian nickname is)
It should be fixed now.

Hmm, question. Wasn't the Civilian ID supposed to have the same rights as the Freelancer ID, as of late? (With the exception of the below-level-30 pvp protection for the Civilian one)

No the civ ID is restricted to civilian line fighters and freighters.
The Freelancer ID has access to various transports and other ships.
From memory, there are other differences in the IDs.
