The tag of the faction you join does not show to other players, so they dont know your a member of a faction unless they scan you
Members of the same faction or allied factions DO NOT appear green to each other, and enemies dont appear red
it should work like this :
A faction ID should give you the tag of a faction, this is the only way they can have an effect on roleplaying, this will then show to other players so they can see your a member of a faction and it will also show you as the correct colour.
otherwise they are pretty pointless, altho the different tractor beams are nice :S
i was rather hoping that these IDs would give you the tag, and everyone would be flying around with nice tags infront of their names
^this gives great possibilities for roleplaying as you will be able to instantly see an enemy aproaching, flying an enemies tag and bright red. as it stand its just another thing to look for before attacking someone heh.
can this be done?
Also : colonial viper - infocard states it has 2 turrets, it has one.
