Proposal: ID changes for 4.87

[Thyrzul]

Blow up all transports without making a demand. That's why that line is gone except in VERY specific cases. (Nomads - who can't demand cargo or credits, Mercs - who need the kill to claim, and specific cargo types that specific unlawful factions would want to destroy outright).

So yea, gone by intend to make the playing field level. I understand this restricts the Maquis and Xenos a little bit - but the IDs as they are are potential gameplay issues with people throwing a /l1 /l2 *fire torpedoes* style of weak roleplay. Sources of grieving I'm trying to prevent and all that.

That is frankly not the issue of the ID, rather of the player abusing it. Going in for the pew after few lines can be done with any ID actually, it's not hard to PVP without any significant RP and get away with not breaking 6.6. It's been done before, and it will be done in the future. Again, it's not the weapon what kills, it's the man who kills with the weapon. The issue is not the ID, but how the players use it. And you can't really change such mentality with server rules and ID restrictions.

(Maybe a general rollover on the majority of the in-game population with a mass 1.2 would solve that, but the community is dying already, so I bet you wouldn't want to "massacre" 80 percent of the server population off of DiscoGC 24/7.)

Making the playing field level, you say? By killing factions? It's barely a "little bit" of restriction if you take the very essence of terrorist factions: the ability to terrorize. With this, these groups will become pointless and even more unpopular than they are now. Who would want to join an unlawful faction which can basically do the same as the rest with less toys/space/allies/etc? By your proposals, even the Pirate ID is better than the Xeno one.
