Proposal: ID changes for 4.87

[Thyrzul]

True. But again, that can't be helped. Opening up on players with a oneliner before they even have a chance to respond, on traders that cannot defend themselves in combat, is not something we should be promoting. I'm all for allowing terrorist factions more freedom to blast open transports, but the problem is that that turns the server into a big PVP fest rather then the roleplay server it is intended to be. And opens up those factions for OORP gripes - it has happened.
I know you can't fix that problem with server rules and IDs entirely, but you can help not make it worse.

I've never heard or read any rants or complains about Maquis or Xenos doing massive, annoying PVP fests disruptive to server gameplay. In fact the most whining regarding PVP battles I've ever heard/read were around LNS/RNC indies' Texas brawls, and generally around the war between Liberty and Rheinland. But if you could point me towards any thread on the forums, or anything else promoting the notion that these two factions(Xenos and Maquis), despite their technological, territorial and ideological limitations, pose such a danger to the "roleplay" of the server to a degree like nothing else, I would be very glad.

And you know, keeping things as they used to be is actually a way to help things not get worse.
