Hi, I am new to Discovery. I have been playing for a week. Started a few characters and was really interested in role playing as a Freelancer, using a gunboat (as that is allowed with the ID). That is where my question comes in. I have looked over the forums and also the wiki site. It says I am allowed to use the IMG gunboat or possibly the Zoners one. I have also read that I have to ask permission to use these without the faction ID. Can anyone clarify these issues for me and also provide me with a link to where I can post my request to the relevant faction?
A few more questions if you will. Is there an IMG official faction member that could help me find the Tech request thread? Also, is there a possibility of anyone discussing a good role-playing motivation story for my tech request? I have read some and as I am new, it would be of great help to grasp a better level of how role-playing in this game is done.
