Quote:Our ID, and our official faction ID request, is solely for the purpose of giving us a zone of operations and ID rules that match our RP. Were the generic Military ID from long ago still around we would have based it on that with our additional restrictions in place.
I think that one crucial point you're forgetting is we're not in 2013. Out of ~72 NPC ids in the game currently, there are official factions for only ~43 of them, many of which inactive, unofficial ones for just a few more. That's around 60% of NPC ids being represented in the game.
And besides, seeing how removing the rule about generic ID officialdoms impacted their quality and behaviour over the last ~3 years, I'm a firm believer that granting Freelancer ID factions the ability to become official was perhaps one of the largest mistakes of that time.
Ultimately what I'm getting at is that the source of many issues in Disco is players who try to make the game suit their RP, rather than fit their RP in the Discovery universe. You're not helping that.
