Researcher ID - It's coming back!

[Roman.Scott]

Uncle Finn here, for another announcement regarding ID's, or more specifically bringing back one - the Researcher ID.

That's right, we're bringing back the Researcher ID, this time with some nice changes. The biggest change you will find with this though is that it will be an SRP-only ID. The reason, as you will see below, is that we want this to be a true RP ID, versus another OP, powertrading ID that could easily happen with its use.

Pilot carrying this quasi-lawful ID is a Researcher, who:

* Can attack any ship in self-defense or to protect an allied ship or base
* Cannot escort or fulfill bounty contracts.
* Cannot pirate or demand credits.
* Cannot participate in unlawful actions except as described above.

Allowed ships: Fighters , Freighters, Transports, Gunboats, Corvo Cruiser

ZOI: Everywhere

While this seems like a basic ID with no real benefit, keep in mind that you can use any size transport, can go anywhere, and no rephacks (Minus Nomads and the such). Also, there is discussion about allowing the ID to be able to scan anomalies or what not, and it will give you a reward in return. Stayed tuned for what that may be, if implemented.

Happy flying, and make sure to make those deliveries of a certain green commodity...

I cannot wait for this to happen. I have been flying a Corvo as a researcher and love it. Would definitely like to have and ID that states I am a researcher instead of a freelancer. ESPECIALLY since every house military and police force just assumes that I'm a smuggler since I am a Freelancer in a corvo. I RP it as a Science ship but the lolwuts just don't seem to understand.

Would still REALLY like one of these =P
