ID Thoughts - Speak now

[Agmen of Eladesor]

I'd like to open a discussion over the Artificial ID.

This is pretty restrictive considering AI ships seems to be rare under this ID.

I ask either an edit or a new ID where an AI based character can fly any ship under a gunship tonnage, freeing them from the restriction of needing to be in an official faction and requiring a tag.

I also ask that the 'rogue' part of the ID be altered since its begging for the character to be engaged in combat. With most being restricted to civilian and Zoner weaponry, which is not good at all to defend yourself with. (Picture a Kingfisher equipped with Purple Goddess' against a Corsairs fighter group) Its impossible to try and RP a pacifist and malfunctioning AI.

Not landing on House or Corporration bases is very restrictive, forcing the player to be in the pirate lands, where they will almost certainly be killed. (9/10 times I get ganked despite pacifism).

Response?

Fletch, there's really only three situations for an AI.

One, you're a member of the Harvesters - so you'll have Junkers / Junkers Guard IFF and AI ID. (Unless you're like me and accidently in trying to be helpful to someone in talking about the /droprep command in PM and screw up your rep. Still working on that one..)

Two, you have someone's tag. Doesn't matter whose, per se - could be Navy, Police, Bowex, Corsairs - just so long as you HAVE a tag. Then you're a Navy AI, a Police AI, or whatever - and use the ID rules of the IFF you're showing.

Three - you don't have ANY tag. Then you're a rogue, and possibly dangerous to all humanity - so that's when the main ID rules apply about where you dock and what you do.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
