So if I get it right: The command do:ac does not work anymore with the new Alien core, but you can change the faction on your own?

After putting one in an hour ago it worked like this for me.
Take out old core
Put in NPC Core
Change faction in P menu from "No Faction " to the one I wanted

I donāt know exactly how it works, but something like what Shojis said.
I placed core.
did do:ac:ID for a few minutes, but command didnāt work.
Tried pressing P, and was able to change it to my faction.

Tested myself and the do:ac command is not needed anymore.
Once the NPC Core / Alien Core is placed, it is set to āNo Factionā, so you can change it as @Shojis said.
Easy.
