While talking on teamspeak with Contaan I/we came up with some ideas that I thought were quite good so I will share them with you.
1: Bring back the Discoe skype help channel. Was there a reason it went away?
2: When you obtain a tag/iff you are able to see that faction in your rep sheet.
3: You should be able to drop rep in this way. /droprep Outcast. The reason for this if you are a trader that has killed to many Corsairs you become friendly with the Outcast then you have to go kill some of them to fix your rep.
I do like the idea for number 3. I've been wanting to LNG rep my cruiser for quite a while but I'm freindly with so many people it kept picking everyone else over LNG. Eventually and Inevitably ... I ran out of money. =/
[color=#FFFFFF]For me the idea is that you can't be friendly to anyone. Imagine you live in the 60s and you sell weapons to the "X" soviet country then you go and sell more weapons to "X" democratic country, that ain't gonna work and sooner or later one of them will turn on you. And since Freelancer is a game you can actually justify that by "proving you worth" a.k.a grinding, it's just part of the gameplay if you ask me.
