NPCs with IDs?

[Zapp]

But Gronath, what I was asking is could we make it so that they don't drop them. Example: NPCs never drop shields or their little tractor beams, couldn't you make the ID the same way? And I like Sovereign's ID about being an instant-rep by making enemy IDs contraband.

Sorry then, I've misunderstood you. About Sovereign's, that's actually an excellent idea!

Its a great idea, and should be implemented...and NPCs dont drop things that are mounted, just like players, so there's no problem there.

Bounty Hunter NPCs asking the KNF NPCs to drop their commanders/admirals and stuff. Then you have the base shooting all Kusari ships... Personally, I think this could be solved by making BHG not demand to drop contraband: why should they? They're paid for bounties, not to do general policing. Even if they were paid to take up a defensive role for lack of lawfuls, this shouldn't include contraband hunting.

Yeah, how come we can loot mounted guns?

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

Yes, because it's expected of the character to have proper reputation to a faction in order to carry an specific ID. It's an effort towards having players keep a reasonable enough rep sheet to their characters. True, the guy can still buy the ID and then mess it all up. Anyway, it's one thing.

Also, I'm of the opinion that NPCs are well within RP at all times not to need an ID to say who they are. If we all could be trusted to do the same, we wouldn't need them also.

Spend ten minutes (or five seconds with enough luck) around Deshima Station and this attitude will disappear.

You CAN make items undroppable, too, exhibit A is the Das Wilde lasers. 4k damage x 4.0 refire =:shok:and not for players...

To my knowledge, it does not ever happen that those objects are mounted. Some ships spawn in with unmounted, and thus droppable, weaponry. If you look at the nomads and wilde that drop blasters and cannons, you realize that the NPC guns are very different from the PC guns.

Things in the hold drop, after taking some level of damage, and things mounted do not.
