While admin/dev team is testing out various apocalyptic game modes, maybe we can get an open Nomad ID in the meantime, as well? With it's ZoI locked to Omicrons (afaik it's possible to change IDs without general mod updates?), and caps locked to systems without JGs?
(ye, I know that all those guys who would buy em, would have to sell/delete their ships after trial period will end, but still)
Actually, I wrote an ID for this, and it's in the game. Simply called the Nomad ID, it lets the wearer use all the Nomad snubs, and although it doesn't permit caps, it gives free engagement rights anywhere in the Omicrons.
It just hasn't been put up for sale on any public stations yet. Probably never will, either, as there was a lot of "NOOOOOOOO"-ing from certain parties.
Can't say I didn't try, though. No, don't ask if you can have it.
And now let's get back on topic. Which was <strike>Andrew whining about us being tired of his dicking around</strike> the rule change.
Also, on that note, be sure to see this thread for a related update to rule 5.6.
