ID-locking IFFs and undercover systems

[The_Godslayer]

Speaking personally, one option would be to default rephack the FL ID to Freelancer (so running no IFF isn't possible by default), and specify that you treat players according to their IFF. Freelancers would still be able to get other IFFs by droprepping.

please please please please I beg you please

I would just add that we shouldn't throw out the no-iff. By logical extension, no-iff means a very special thing: the person is flying without a visible transponder signal. In a way, doing this is worse than rocking a pirate iff, since you're deliberately trying to avoid recognition. You could be trying to murder anyone across your path and pin it on another group that flies the same ships, etc. No one sane would let you dock without an iff, barring a few pirate bases and freeports. All House lawfuls would arrest or kick you out for flying no iff, because you could be in league with any one of their enemies.

Just read this: Making it outlawed in House Laws is also acceptable. If seeing a NoFF meant House Lawfuls could treat it as hostile and enemy at their own discretion, that would also be reasonable.
