Proposal: ID changes for 4.87

[Rodnas]

- Regarding rephacking the Pirate ID to undockable on unlawful bases:
This is problematic for a number of reasons.
Firstly, some unlawful factions (such as Rogues) are known to be very unfriendly toward independent pirates, but others are not and often accept their help.

This would also prevent Pirate ID'd ships from displaying an unlawful IFF - as in, an independent pirate that works primarily for / with unlawful faction x.

And lastly, gameplay reasons. Preventing independent pirates from docking on unlawful bases (as well as lawful ones) basically leaves them with Junker and Zoner bases.
This would mean in most places, they'd have to travel incredibly far between pirating spots and safe bases - not really a good thing for gameplay.

Official factions can already request nodock rephack for Pirate ID; there is no need to implement a blanket no dock for all unlawfuls.

Is that all? I think so.

Being forced to fly around to find a safe haven would be an actual limitation or drawback to the otherwise unchecked, misused and completly out of the window stupid ID
As is, the pirate ID is the go to ID if you want to do anything without drawbacks, from serious contributions to the server and its gameplay to the stupid lolwutty abusing of it. Every ID has drawbacks safe this one!

Also, while the players behind the factions might not want themselves or their buddies being unable to dock on their bases with the pirate ID there is no reason that unaffiliated people are allowed on a supposedly well hidden base of that faction- they are a major source of treachery after all, not to speak of the 0 logic of supporting and sponsoring your competition on your own turf.
And if said independent pirate is so cool with the faction they would let him dock anyways then he can slap the appropriate ID on his ship, too.
=> Independent shady people should stop being lazy and start flying their ships to the already intended shady double dealing factions stations (aka zoners and junkers )
