2 questions about the 4.87

[Jinx]

1. no known plans there - might need further discussions about the pros and cons

i do believe the plan was to simplify the ID system a bit more - so that corporate reserachers for example would use the vanilla faction IDs ( like Cryer, who runs the CRI .. or an unlawful ID to describe a smuggler - or if it is rather small scale .. a freelancer for individual researchers and a pirate ID for individual smuggling .. within the contraints of the limitations of each ID )


2. no plans there - writing the name in front of a message is a playerchoice that does not particularly enrich the gameplay or roleplay. it is very subjective if it is actually beneficial or not

if it is very important to a player - an intermediete method is to not name the ship itself by the shipname but include the charname (eg. not "[LNS].Alamo" but "[LNS].Alamo-Cpt.Pierce" ) - yea not a perfect solution - but if one writes the name anyway - like all the times, you might as well put it in your ships name.

but that, too might be subject of a discussion - there is currently no active discussion about it - nor has there been to my knowledge on the dev board or the trac or the dev chat.

it does not hurt to initiate one though - actually i cannot remember having a public thread about either of those items - at least not in the near past.
