Nice to see, that newcomers do ask and inform theirselfs first, before they actually go ingame.
To your question: Each factions/ID's do have a "zone of influence", where they're supposed to be. As Liberty Rogue, you should ofcourse try to stay withing Liberty. A no-go for example would be, if you're doing piracy, outside of Liberty, as Rogue. On the other hand, you could go for a smuggling run nearly everywhere. Only thing you should be aware, are so-called "guard systems". Better don't enter those, except for your own. (Cassini in that case.)
With the LSF ID you're kind of an agent, who works for Liberty. Their main zone of influence is still in/near Liberty, but you can still do some "secret missions" outside of Liberty.
In the end, you should know, which enemies and allies they have. So there won't be no problems.
And if you want, you can also add me on Skype for more questions: narcotic235
I'll get you all on Skype soon, using my phone atm >_>
I appreciate all your insight, I hope I can make a nice informed choice on what I should do by discussing it with you all ! and hope to settle in well in the community, make some companions/friends etc and go travelling in space together!
I'm used to be shotdown for asking questions in other gaming forums. but it's nice to see a welcoming party!
Oh, another thing. whats the population size of the server?:)
Am I likely to see the same navy patrol's on a daily basis or when I meet someone am I never to see them again ?:P
