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.
This information about the ID change was announced on the last post of the faction information page.
We received unanimous feedback from a large portion of the corsair community to swap to a Freelancer ID from the Generic Corsair ID. This was suggested so as to better represent our exiled status.
No doubt, we of the Apostatas are still very much corsairs and this ID switch does not change that.
To address your last point,
As of 07-26-2018, all Apostatas ships have been recalled and refitted with the Freelancer ID. Hence we retain the usage of only one ID.
Although, I do sincerely apologize for not posting on this feedback thread about the ID change.
If you have any more questions, I will only be too glad to answer them and as always, thank you for your feedback.
