IDs

A mounted Corsair ID.

Faction IDs are used to identify pilot's faction association for out-of-RP purposes. On the Discovery RP servers every ship is required to mount and carry one ID at all times. It is also important to note that being associated with a certain faction and using their ID only allows the usage of certain ships and equipment, for specifics see The Tech Chart.

All players start with a generic Civilian ID, which is a basic ID sold on every station, planet and base. Faction IDs are sold in some or at least one of the bases belonging to the faction it represents. Generic IDs are sold throughout all of Sirius, mostly on civilian hubs as well as Zoner bases. A Faction ID is Discovery's primary means determining to which faction a player belongs. A Generic ID represents a character not aligning himself to a specific NPC faction. Terrorist and other Restricted IDs can only be given to you by admins.

It is important that your reputation sheet (and your IFF, should you opt to display one) matches your ID. Many ID's will automatically adjust your reputation to prevent exploits.

ID also serves as a tractor beam, so without it player cannot tractor in loot. Special care needs to be taken that you don't lose your ID while acquiring a new ship. ID's are not automatically transferred to the new ship upon purchase. IDs are closely related to many of the server rules, so a good understanding of their concept is crucial.

Note as well that, due to some servers using FLHook, the server admins are able to change and modify the ID from what shows up when you play SP. Check your ID in game to see what is current for you, as the ID restrictions are rules you must follow.

Generic IDs

These IDs have no restrictions on Zone of Interest, however has others restrictions, such as smaller cargo space, prohibition to freely engage targes to balance this freedom. As a side note, these IDs are not bound to "1 official faction per 1 ID" rule, and Generic IDs can have multiple official factions using them.
