Researcher ID - It's coming back!

[HassLHoFF™]

So, I guess my question would be, what constitutes "Research"?

I understand RP and things like the recent jumpdrive tests, but, effectively, those already exist in the game even if the specific faction is only just coming on board with them.

I am not trying to stir things up here, but I am not comprehending where this ID is supposed to go.

I guess it focusses on the exploration part of research.

Would also say, better restrict it to 3.6k Transports, with excluding Liners overall and maybe allow some more vessels that suits the purpose for a researcher or a researcher crew.

What about limiting the Renzu liner to this ID?

Give it a 20k power core upgrade to support hyperspace scanners. Remove the Counter Measure mount so that the ship cannot cloak.

Lots of storage including the fact that it is outside the jump limit, its a big ship, the sort of thing researchers like, and it repurposes the ship effectively.

I'm a bit skeptical. How many barges were SRP'd for "rp reasons" and ended up being just used as power trading tool without adding anything to the roleplay enviroment?

As Winter-kun said, if it is supposed to be a true roleplay ID I don't see why there shouldn't be at least some restrictions to the trading aspect of it.

Barges are a whole different animal. You didn't even need an SRP to own one. As long as you were willing to cough up the billions, you could buy one off the market.

The Researcher ID is a hardcore RP ID. Anyone interested in this ID will not mind having to put forth the RP needed in order to qualify for it. Why put out a nerfed Researcher ID, that hardly anybody was clamoring for btw, when we could make one with fewer restrictions, that a hardcore RP'er would love to have and have no problem qualifying for?

We are not going to say what kind of research would qualify for the ID. We have no desire to limit your imagination in this regard. If you are interested in it, you can surprise us. If you are not, but still want to be a 'Researcher', use the Freelancer ID. I believe somebody here may have already suggested that.

Huh, I was pretty sure there were SRP'd Barges, but I might have mixed that up with people mentioning to -want to- SRP one in the past. My bad.

However, I remain skeptical until I see it used, I guess.

I believe you could SRP barges but you could also buy them from other players who didn't want them anymore unlike other SRP type things.

Please don't make it SRP Only ID,SRP in current form is effort and time intensive.

A kind of Mini-SRP with faster acceptance time will be greatly appreciated.

* Can attack any ship in self-defense or to protect an allied ship or base

Why not adding that to the normal Pirate ID?

Admins must decide what "affiliation" means in Pirate ID. I'd replace that with "Can ally with unlawfuls and Junkers", since Hogosha, Unione Corse (?) and such are rephacked to be hostile - and Zoners would never ally with pirates. Even Xenos do not like Pirate ID, I believe.

Also, pirates wields Freelancer IFF and Pirate IFF will be also a thing. However, both by default do not have allies - see: Miner ID, regarded as thieves even by IMG.

As per zoner lore, any corvo in non-zoner hands will be bountied sirius-wide and will be activelly hunted everywhere, until the owner ragequits...

Make a dedicated research ship with the old model, then...

[Thyrzul]

Wow, space hermits libertarians hunting civilian research vessels down Sirius-wide, we are screwed.
