Buying ID's from other players - Anaximander - 06-07-2013
Hello, unsure where to post this. I want to know if it is allowed to buy ID's from other players (through conn so no one undocks in an RP system with 2 ID's or no ID)?
Repping ships, although fun and a learning experience the first 10 times or so, becomes a tedious task - I want to log in and create a new character but the 47 missions I need to do to get a MND ID just keeps me from playing the game, and that sucks.
ID vendors (or a huge amount of restarts) would be a wonderful feature.

If you can legally obtain the ID (It is not a faction one such as Reavers, HF or Khara) then anyone can give you one.

Sounds fine, since I need a Privateer ID but I dont have time for the repping.
If anyone could give me one, I'll be a happy panda.
Thanks in advance.

Right, buying MND ID's then. Looking for two if them. 2 mil per ID?

Would be good with an admin ruling on this, with given limitations and such. If it's all good, we could create an ID exchange in the Open Market section. Tbh quite often I can't be bothered starting new characters because I know it will take me several hours repping before being able to actually enjoy myself and do what I want to do - in those cases I'd gladly pay 2-5 million for an ID, even though I know it only cost a few hundred thousand credits and 2 minutes of time for the dude selling it. I'd also not mind selling the ID's I got access to on my characters - easy credits and I'll be helping other players to have more fun in Disco. Win-win.
I'm sure others would be interested in selling and purchasing ID's and taking a break from repping.
Can we get an admin ruling on whether or not this is allowed, and if it isn't could you please consider it for the convenience of the players on the server?

I'd also like some clarification, I've been asked to do it for someone before and never knew whether to go through with it. Seems a bit illegal due to it eliminating any RP and effort from the player but...it is only an ID.

You can have as many IDs as you want OF THE SAME TYPE -You can have for example, a BAF recruiting ship, going around with a load of BAF IDs, its only when you have 2 IDs of different types that you start breaking the rules. Even then no-ones going to sanction you for having two if you just got given one, and are docking to equip it, and sell the other.
