ID - IFF autoupdate

[akar.zaephyr]

I've been thinking about this feature for quite some time so I decided to make this thread to ask your opinion.

As we all know, IFF completely depends on Player's actions so it is possible to be neutral with all of the faction no matter what ID is equipped, it is hard to achieve though.

What if equipping a specific ID would adjust the IFF to faction the ID represents?

Here's an example.
I would like to join Corsairs so I'm repfixing to get their ID, but there is actually no problem to be neutral with Bounty Hunters. As long as you meet human player you'll be engaged anyway, but NPCs won't bother you anymore. Since NPCs weapons and AI have been slightly changed, this is an advantage that shouldn't take place.

So we come to a point where you buy the Corsair ID and here's the magic:
- Corsairs are friendly to The Order, Hogosha, Gaians and Farmers Alliance so Player's IFF to these faction would become friendly (not fully friendly but enough to see them green);
- Corsairs are hostile to Outcasts, Red Hessians, Liberty Rogues etc. so mounting their ID would make you hostile with all of the enemies they should be hostile with.
- reputation to all other factions that are not listed would not be changed at all

IMO, this should make the RP more adjusted as I see no point in being unlawful or lawful and being neutral to all those you shouldn't be, considering the faction Player joined.

What is your opinion? What do you think?
