' Wrote:One thing that would be needed would be a forum for the STCs. In it, they could keep a running list of who's a trader, who's a smuggler, and who's a pirate. We would have it passworded, and ONLY trusted people, who could be counted on to not metagame would be allowed access.
Trader list example:
Generic_Trader
Preferred Route: Manhattan > LD-14
Currently flying: Transport
Ship ID: Sqk 4216
Pirate list example:
Generic Pirate
Common sighting area: Magellan > Leeds Jumphole
Currently flying: Lane Hacker Gunship
Ship ID: PIR 2248
I think Google docs would be great for that. Everyone can access that as far as Im aware.
As for the chat, have all the STC in their own group.
The traders can pm or system which ever they like and the STC replies in kind. If info needed on other systems then the STC can ask in their group all that stuff and relay it to the trader/pirate.
STC can watch who enters their system and pm them when arrival or something, requesting Role and IFF.
If a pirate, the STC could mention something about "be advised, police reported in the area, Last seen Colorado JG."
If a trader or police, they would say "no pirates reported," or "Pirates sighted in system, near sector 6D"
I think the STC would be a lawful-oriented corporation/mechanism, but stays neutral if a pirate asks them info. If the Police asks for pirate locations then the STC would give it to them, instead of the STC reporting to police if that makes sense. And if the Pirates asked if traders or police are in system then the STC would give that info to them as well.
So the STC would be a trader/pirate/police initiated contact and respond to the initiating players queries, rather than STC telling everyone everything.
Thoughts?
