Well, I am an IDIOT
So I've spent another 3 days in my cell, got let out a few times to access my data logs and some holo-vids. Even got to speak to Olivia Rodriguez again. She was handling the paperwork of my detainment and transfer. After a brief chat she let slip that I got a vastly shorter sentence than it was originally thought; 2000 credit bail whilst I serve a 3 month stretch on the pillar of fortitude.
She also said she wanted to make it very clear that the reason I was detained was for fraudulently flying under my fathers licence, and for altering it. When I told her I didn't have my own licence so didn't have much of a choice she .......erm.....laughed at me. Turns out you can still fly a ship if you own one without being registered as an independent CMDR, you just sacrifice all the benefits you gain from the Pilot's Federation. But you can still work for an organisation as a pilot. And if you're already a pilot with a few jobs under their belt and a good reference, the Pilot's Federation may even Fast Track your application for an official licence.
Well, had I known that earlier.........
So, I reached out to the Pilots Federation representative, told them my situation (minus the being detained part) and they offered to process a licence for me, I would just need to complete some simulations and testing to ensure I was up to standard to earn a licence. Even better, they could be completed in a simulator or real ship if I was local to their area of space. So once I get off the Pillar of Fortitude, I can complete these simulations and ensure I don't make such a stupid mistake again. Even better, I'll be an independent Pilot.........a Commander!
Well, now it's just a waiting game whilst I serve the time....
