' Wrote:However to give it to faction leaders would require FLHook commands. Which is simply not going to happen. Ever.
' Wrote:Currently I think whether an FR5 is permanent or not is discretionary on the part of the admins.
Non-permanent FR5s make the entire system useless for enforcing any kind of law and order on individuals who aren't hostile by default to a faction trying to enforce said order.

I would say, that the admins shouldn't be bothered with non permanent FR5 requests. A faction leader should be mature enough to decide, whether to issue a "-0.89"-FR5 or not.
The effect this has to the rp of the affected players is underestimated in my eyes.
Example:
An artifact smuggler get's FR5ed by the LPI to -.89. It will not only be timeconsuming, but may also be a pain to correct this.
First off has to find a possibility to alter his rep again. For example by bribing / or missions. Every action to alter his reputation ingame will also have side effects on other factions. For instance the Corsair npcs will try to pirate you, even if the rep allows you to dock on their bases. You need a specific reputation to be excluded from npc cargodemands.
The smuggler will have to elaborate new approaches, maybe even think of rp to get away without being FR5ed next time he gets caught. For instance: I have caught many indie smugglers. Did anyone even try to bribe me? No, not a single one. Why should they. They can just rename themselfes when they got listed at a criminal database or even if they are getting listed they can be fairly sure that not every lawful representative be it indie or official will have the list at hand all the time and recognize him.
It is unfair, that indies can annoy players who want to rp their character. We need an appropriate tool to also annoy them. That would be the "quick -0.89 FR5".
