/setrep Command

[tazuras]

is your name related to Dr. Who, cause that would be awesome. Anyway:

As for it being tied to the ID I think this is too limiting and has more potential for abuse. For instance you could farm friendly NPC's for credits with no affect on your IFF. As for the limiting bit, a think being able to have a custom IFF allows for more variety in RP. What if you are a Corsair pretending not to be a Corsair. Without the autorepfix you can do this (if you believe ID's are only for metagaming, which I do, and lets not argue that on this thread please, there's another thread for that), drop the IFF and get a civ ship and equipment, done, you no longer appear to be a corsair. The other reason I'm not a big fan of the idea is it would be somewhat of a pain to implement and debug for all the ID's and I think it would cause a buttload of complaining. But I am glad the idea came up. As I have said elsewhere I would support it if the ID based repfix was optional (using an FLhook command), so if you wanted to play a less vanilla character in terms of IFF you could.
