Corsair - Zoner

For that to happen, it means that there will have to be at least 8~10 new IFF's and ID's.
That's only for the Freeports and such.

Add that to the junkers.. You'll need like 5~7 more.

So it would be around 15 new IFF's and ID's.

Now for what little FL coding i know..

Just writing out the reputations of each new IFF to every faction ingame..

I pitty the devs that would have to do that.

Something to consider to .87, although.

Ill put my time on a bet that is pure data entry.

Never done freelancer MODS, but completely rewrote the server into a linux multi core multi box system a year or two back.

And ill gamble my time on the data entry if they want someone to do the leg work.

(I just looked a bunch up at fldisco forums)

Doesn't look like that's the hard part, A tonne of files require editing to make a faction work. Still I gamble my time openly. IF data entry is required, count me in.

Hmm on reading the last gfew posts, maybe i misunderstood the "FP" rep solution.

Why do zoners need the new ID's?

Zoners can still be zoners, as a combined, floating Group. I looked at the fp suggestion as a method of controlling as before mentioned Base X doesn't allow Faction Y to dock, The zoners dont have to be different, A Zoner official faction member who is an admin of A FP could request a FR5 based on the faction rules for his FP, not his faction.

Still one zoner ID just a bunch of FP factions

Zoner 1 (FP1)
Zoner 2 (FP2)

And Bluestar has some good points, Based on the splitting of zoners, Which I totally agree with. But based on my interpretation Bluestar, Do you see an issue, With freeports having individual "Polocys" On who can dock based on the exploitation of zoner kindness/neutrality?

If the system as I understood it (Which looks like a different way to most) was implemented, I would anticipate that it would all start zoner base, The "disgruntled" would have to prove, A large percentage of a Group is causing this trouble directly from supplies gained from X base.

Hey, Just had a random thought. I supplied food to Corsairs, Alot of zoners did, I got food direct from a freeport, Corsairs eat food, They survive they shoot people, Wasn't my kindness always helping a war?

I was helping them defend themselves as much as (If the freeports supplied the attackers) The freeports were helping the attackers. Yin and Yan?

Did the freeport give more weapons to the groups that attacked the Corsairs, Than Zoners gave food to Corsairs, Relative to price differential and Demand?

Speaking fully in RP circumstances of course, Removing any thoughts of ooc this and that.

Just a random thought I had.
