misleading names

[Remilia Scarlet]

Not really agree. It only needs to have the "SYSTEM" and "RANK" colums be removed so you can see the names of people online and that's about it. Complete removal of the list will not be good by any chance since players need to communicate somehow.

Online player list must be made short of those SYSTEM and RANK colums as well. Only names and pings.

Hmm I used to use a Kempeitai GB in Bretonia with the HMS prefix.
it was interesting to say the least.

You can claim it was bad RP all you want, but I felt it fit.
Alas admin made it against the rules so I just made sure I had a Bretonian sounding name.
Was still fun.

I'm ok with removing the system and rank columns from the player list. Of course the meta-gaming pirates will be mad, of course the meta-gaming traders (like me, sorta) will be mad, but yeah, it's not exactly RP to see where every single person is at any given time.


I would say make a new equipment type of module though, like the Survey Module, that lets you have limited access to the player list. Like it lets you see who is in the systems bordering the one you're in.

Also, the Torpedoes will be happy too. Now we can do real surprise attacks, instead of logging to find all of the potential targets logging off as fast as humanly possible.

The best solution is to kill the in-game contact list and use the on-line one based only on regions. It would make the game a way more interesting.

The Shattered Worlds mod did this and it worked extremely well in my opinion and i played on both sides of the law. It made chasing criminals harder and tracking transports that got away or lawfuls much harder as well which added a new element of difficulty that made the game much more fun.

Im also all for pirates changing their name to things that mislead people, you can say its no in the rp rules or whatever but they are pirates, you think they are gonna try to hide their identity or tell everybody exactly who they are...

I think it's fine.

[Haste]

I approve of the fog-of-war player list idea.

Even though everyone does it, I don't think "long range scanners of legendary proportions" exist in roleplay.

[Huhuh]

The main problem with taking away the LRS is that people can't find other people to RP with (major problem when there are less than 80 people on the server, aka the time when I come on).

If you took it away you'd get a fair amount of "/s Anyone here?"
