Lost in space. Again.

[Faulkner-FDM]

Hi,

In a massive surge of nostalgia, I looked up Freelancer again and obviously the Discovery mod, which I played many many a years ago. Now, suffice to say, everything has changed so I have essentially no former experience to fall back on.

Now I'm keen on getting lost again in the vast universe Discovery offers. I've done, if I do say so myself, a vast amount of reading on the forums but it's in most cases just one wall of text after another and some rules regarding ID/Ship use remain unclear.

My basic outline is to get a trader character set for fundraising. However, I'm a bit picky on the ships I want to fly as I intend to initially design the characters in such a fashion, ideally as independent as possible, so I can fly the ships I want in the majority of space. Now suffice to say, the ships I've got in mind are transports, namely:

• L'Ane - If I understood it correctly, this ship is a no go in any house space, though if properly argumented exception licenses cann be obtained.
  
• Heron/Stork - The heron/stork should be, with a freelancer ID, have no restrictions, correct? Though the Heron no longer is sold at Austin Depot. Planet Honshu, I hope?
  
• Salvager - Does not classify as a capital ship, I understood, and thus should be allowed to fly, with a Junker ID and rep, in House space with the exception of Kusari/Gallia (visa possibililty?).
  
• Akegata / Ryuujin - Can these ships, despite Kusari origin, be flown freely in House space with a Freelancer ID/Rep, or does their origin limit their use?
  

Thanks in advance so that I may find a course to set upon!
