At first i want to say, that i am very happy about the drop rep command. A great tool, which saves oorp or time or oorp-time.:)
This proposal is more complicated, but too a rep-lowering-tool. It dont increases any rep, only lowering.
I read about Mon'Star and his problems (F8-repsheet). Other players(example: corsairs) have similar problems in detail. If they shoot the enemy (bounties), which are the enemies of their enemies (outcasts), enymies (outcasts) become green. Wired.
It should be possible for Mon'Star or corsairs or anyone, to shoot any NPC, like red is dead. Actually, if a player does so, sometimes his rep-sheet becomes strange. That annoying. Everybody knows.
Is it possible to create:
1. "/hostile enemies", related to the ID?
2. "/hostile [faction]"
and maybe only for Mon'Star: 3. "/hostile all"
Or totally different, is it 4. possible, to make the kills related to the ID, somebody carry? Like corsairs shooting bounties doesnt increase the outcasts' rep, because the bounty was killed by an corsair?
About 1: It seems as it cant be abused. It seems similar to the outcast/corsairs rep fixing. I read about that weeks ago, not sure, if this is still enabled. I cannot imagine, how the 1st proposal can be abused, but if you can, post!
About 2., the "/hostile [faction]" command: I'm sure, it can be abused. So dropping allied reps shouldnt possible. Tell me more about imaginable abuse. I didnt have that criminal mind.:D
About 3.: Not abuseable, it seems. For me, only accidents are possible (curiousity killed the cat).
About 4., I really dont know. Maybe hardcoded.
I dont know, if cannon can do that or if anybody want that, but maybe it is worth to be discussed.
