Feature idea: Ingame friends lists

[Narcotic]

So I had that idea this morning when playing on the "almost empty" server.

I'd love to have an ingame friends list, to see who of my mates are currnelty online and with what character.



It would go like that:

First step: You need an owner name, which will later appear on your friends lists.
(In my case I'd go with "Narcotic".)

Step two: Set an owner for each of your characters.
(You'll need to have the character logged to set an owner. Set a owner for those chars, which shall appear on your friends lists.)

Code:

/set owner [name] [password]

You'll give the password to your friend, whom you allow to add you on their list. (Movechar and renameme will delete the password.)

Step three: Adding friends to your list.

Code:

/add friend [name] [password]

It adds the friend to your list. Remember, that only people you gave that password will be able to add you.
It shall prevent, that strangers have you on their list. (Especially Bounty Hunters who collect bounties on your char/s.)

Step four: Show your friendslist.

Code:

/friends list

Also: /fl
And it'll show you that (if the player is currently online):

1. [name] [shipname/charactername] [location/system]
e.g:

1. Narcotic LR-Serious.Pacifist California
2. Cody W.F.Cody-Equipment-Shop New York
3. Rubber Duck BAF|MN-Rubber_Duck Leeds
4. Fidelius [RM]Fw.Gabriel.Engel New Berlin
5. Satan [RHA]Hans.Gukel Omicron Gamma
6. Pig_Pen SW)The.Steelmill Magellan
7. Raoie IC|Regina New York

(Those are just examples, I randomly named some who came into my mind. If you want to have them removed, tell me.)

If the player is offline, it'll just show the name.
And only the characters, for which you set an owner, will be visible to your friends.

Step five: Other commands:

Code:

/remove friend

Removes a friend from your list.

Code:

/mail [number] [text]

It sends a mail or PM to a friend, assigned to that number.

Code:

/fm [text]

It sends a message to all of your online friends. (Also /friends message)

Code:

/move up [name]
/move down [name]

Changes the order in the list.

Code:

/remove owner [name] [password]

It resets the password from the character you're logged.
People who already have you in their list, won't see that specific character anymore on their lists now.



I might have forgotten some important commands, but I guess that it was all.

So what do yout think?

Questions?
Suggestions?
Opinions?
Criticism?

/Edit: Should have put it into Discovery Mod General Discussion. But too late now.
