Thanks Dboy, I've made it a bit further along now, but not far enough. I'll explain more thoroughly what I am trying to do and what I am seeing.
I have my own multiple accounts on my computer up and running fine with no problem switching between them.
My roommate has a laptop that we set up an account on and we want to give my computer access to the account on his laptop. Specifically, one ship on his account.
So we found the ID and Signature as Dboy showed above.
I manually entered the ID and signature from my roommate's account into my FAM, but when I activate it and try to log onto the server, Freelancer behaves like I have never been on multiplayer before and brings up the create new account ID number screen again with an entirely new account number that does not match any that I already have. I can switch back to my personal accounts and log onto the server just fine.
I am thinking that perhaps I need to enter the account ID from my roommate's computer into the new account ID screen after I select multiplayer in the game. I don't want to do that though until someone tells me that is the right thing to do.
Call me paranoid, but I don't want to somehow screw up my accounts because I don't know what I'm doing.
It looks like I am missing a step somewhere to get my computer to access the account that we set up on my roommate's laptop.
So basically, what do I need to do from here to get an account "shared" between 2 different players on 2 different computers?
