' Wrote:Get more non-Keeper Nomad players that are allowed to stay only in Delta, o99,o90,Iota, and who may only leave those systems if a Keeper asks them to.
Just adjust the rep on simple forum request, let that be the trial period instead of morph.
Sounds easy than it's done. That would require modification of server rules, IDs and so forth. How would that be enforced on practice?
There is also a matter of responsibility. Factions are responsible for members in many ways (factions who break rules constantly may get whooped by banhammer), but who would be responsible for players who are not members of the faction but "approved" by said faction? Wouldn't that make the faction responsible for said players too (considering they have "approved" them in the first place) and in what capacity? Tricky and sensitive matter, but quite important, cause it affects many things. Right now no one needs any "approval" to make a trial character, it's free for everyone, as such responsibility is solely on the player controlling the trial character, not us.
Reporting is not a solution. I seriously doubt admins would approve that cause it'll put a lot more "paperwork" for them, they're not machines serving sanctions automatically. Whole thing would need a more resourceful approach that would avoid common pitfalls. Better be cautious than sorry, a whole lot can easily go wrong there.
p.s. Will reply in PM. Subject of indie/semi-indie nomads implementation is quite off topic.
