Before I start I need to clarify that this topic is about snubcraft since the ID in question is Freelancer.
I have flown for a while as a freelancer who slowly explores Sirius and stays in certain places longer, doing jobs and missions. During all of this I have swapped ships a few times and always stayed strictly in the Civilian shipline. If I feel the need to swap ships again, am I required to stay with the Civilian and Border Worlds shiplines or do I have some more liberty when choosing a next one?
I have noticed that the Discovery wiki has some tables about ships, some of which have special notes which ID can use which ship. When I browsed the category Independent ships (https://discoverygc.com/wiki/Independent_ships) I saw mostly empty fields at their notes sections. Does this imply I can choose some of these snubs as a Freelancer and do I have to contact the faction and request the usage before doing so?
