What do you think about adding new ID in game, plainclothesman, for police officers and navy. with this ID player can mount another one, trader or miner, and there would be special cruisers masked as transports(cruiser guns masked in cargopods etc) on the outside it would look like normal trader/miner, it would even read like one on scanners, but when the officer starts shooting it would show its true ID and layout, i think it would add certain dynamics to the game, as pirate could never be sure if the trader that he just stopped is not in fact masked officer.

Not possible as far as I know.

Why not, if you can fix up scanners you can fix up everything else as well.
Plainclothesman - Rommie - 06-24-2011
No you cannot.
Plainclothesman - Cap.Kennedy - 06-24-2011
you can,you just take 3d shape of a cargo transport and make the cruiser with the same shape, you duplicate the slot for ID, add weapon hardpoints inside the cargo containers so that only points are sticking out like in the ships borrowed from homeworld, and voila, all you got to do is fix it up so ti registers as regular transport on scanners, not sure if that is possible tough.

If you know how to do it - go ahead.
I would like to see a Q-ships implemented

Prison liners already make pretty good Q-ships with their 9 guns, and police already have access to them.

Pirates don't care of it is a masked officer or not as long as it drops goodies.

Well, the point is pirate gunboat can not fight VS cruiser, i am saying that it should be a cruiser that only looks like transport(booth on scanners and visualy), element of suprise eh.

Cruisers the size and shape of transports isn't going to happen.
