But as we can see here someone of you using Freelancer ID. Does your Faction info said that you are Corsairs? As I remember well, there you have ships with Corsair ID, now you have ships with Freelancer ID, how one faction can use 2 ID's? It's only a question, so I interesting how you explain it.
Although I am not the member of the faction, but am in tight contact with them. The change of ID was basically forced by the community, most especially by other Corsairs. probably, the guys haven't yet updated the info of the faction. Search the forum - you for sure will find the topic on the issue.
