Minor, but something to think about. Sanctions too. If you do something to warrant a sanction, then the Admins will have to deal punishment to both ships, since they won't know which ship specifically was the offender.
Think about driving a car - you have a unique license plate. It would be like switching out license plates to each vehicle you have when you drive it. Would cause too many issues and wouldn't work sadly.
As a former Admin, I'm pretty sure this would be next to impossible given how DSAM works server side too. Best bet is do what was mentioned above and use different punctuation symbols for your character names.
I see what you're saying, but sanctions are already done on an account basis afaik. If one ship doesn't have the cash for a fine, it gets taken from another one on the same account. As for bounties, yes, that's the point. It's against the character not the ship. If you have different characters on the same account, just don't use the command. It's purely your choice. If you want to transfer names across ships, use it. If not, don't Your example of licence plates is perfect. If you get a driving ban, it's against you. Not the car that you drive.
Maybe I've not made my idea clear. This would be totally optional. If you want to use the same name, you do. If not. Err.... don't.
I have no idea what DSAM is and i bow to your knowledge thereon, but on the outside, it looks doable. set temp_name = old_name. set old_name = new_name. set new_name = temp_name. The renameme command already exists, so can that not be used?
Again, if I'm not making myself clear (my bad), this would be mainly for people who have one account for each "real" character and who wanted to perpetuate the character name between ships. If you don't want to use it, don't. Nothing would change. It's just an option.
