Birdman changed one of my planet's friendly code to mff. I need confirmations (I play Feds, classic game settings):

a) This is the universal friendly code for minefields, am I not correct?

b) If the Bird or his allies want to go through my minefields, does their FC need to be exactly mff?

c) If my starbase has mff and mission Force a surrender, does that force them to surrender?

d) I have a planet with higher (bigger) ID number, that has FC MFA. Does this counter that mff?

e) When that mff is at play, does the local minefield friendlycodes still work locally for third party friends etc?

Thank you Mjs68508! I'm not always sure what documented information to trust (and I trust my memory even less!). That FC mfX is devious, makes me want to play as Birds in my next game... :D

Couple of other points:

Capitalization does matter on NU (Didn't matter with TimHost). So, mfk is different than mFk.

Also, you can use almost any key, like mf> or mf: etc.

c) Yes and No. As long as Bird ship stays on "Super Spy" you won't force surrender it, even with matching FCs. Only if he changes his mission to anything else will you be able to force surrender.
