Help with Military ID

I'm at the Exael system already and I still haven't found the Fortress yet. When did you guys find it?

On another note, how do you get the BM ID?

This post contains spoilers, of course.

All systems except for a special few are randomly generated. You might not ever get a Fortress and you might get five in the next system. Generally they start showing up sometime between right after St Katharines and before you run into the Ares.

You can find a Black Market ID randomly (try those friendly ships that run around with zulu escorts as well as outlaw bases - both tend to carry illegals and anywhere that has illegals has a chance to have an ID) but the most common way is to bring illegals to a hotel where you can sell them for an ID (as well as a pretty good price - bring a smuggler's hold or other expensive illegal item for a decent profit margin). There is a small chance that you will be caught- I think there is a 1000 credit fine and if you can't pay then you are improsoned and it's game over.

Yep, I got popped a couple of times by those bro's in the hotel. Also, you could get lucky and find a Mil ID at a Commonwealth station. Very rare but possible.

I've got an unidentified ID. How do I get it identified?

Once you get a Mil or BM ID, whichever comes first, it will convert to it--you'll end up with two of the same ID's.

I don't know if it will auto-identify but it will still work as whatever ID it is so just try and get into the market or install a military weapon and you'll find out.

Funny how an identification can be unidentified....
