Freelancer ID / IFF question

[litlwicked]

It's made very simple now in .85 to get the freelancer iff. simply go to the new freelancer base and get a bribe, then go to a zoner base and get a zoner bribe. At this point freelancer IFF should be a full rep or pretty darn close to it. If it's not full, do some BH missions to make it full. Then do the drop rep stuff(when your freelancer rep is full).

Another way(cheap way) to get rid of rep and make sure freelancer is the IFF that gets the bottom slot once it's full is to drop missions on the reps that are between your active IFF and freelancer. All you really need is 1 mission abandoned to lower them enough(but do a few to be safe), once freelancer is in the second place, go drop missions on the active IFF till it's got the white and very light green bars left, undock and you should be done. However, with a new character you shouldn't need to drop any rep since it wont have much built up in any of the iff bars.

to think all that time spent doing BH missions in .84 then hours upon hours trying to get it on the bottom. was fun, sorry to see it become so easy to get now.
