but.. pls help me understand something -- r u saying that the camara ship's hull is invisible to all other players..?? is this some knd of bug because i posted about it eslewhere (cloak device) and it wasn't really clear. but great reporter idea -- i really miss global chat so this really could help a bit.
the ship after the camara -- i think maybe an Armoured Transport really. thats for VIPs after all. thats a pretty tough vessel?
Freelancer iD is available in several locations -- 2 of which: Planet Houston and Planet Berlin in New Berlin i think.. To get the ID you have to be friendly with the faction in control of the base. Houston is the LPI i think and Berlin is the Rheinland police --- you have to verify this by talkng in the bar to find out whic ocntrols the base. The easiest way to get friendly with them is to bribe via bar -- otherwise the other easy way is to just do missions. Finally, most new players end up getting most friendly with Police forces anyway becaus ethey just end up killing so many Mollys, Hessians and basic pirate forces. So you may already be "greenlighted" to get the ID.
(scrath this one -- saw it would have problems with Bretonia)
the other one i might recommend is the kusari cruise liner. you would then have to be a large media corporation to rp it maybe. that means less zipping around -- more station yourself in system and invite interviews.
