An Idea... but requires server rules change

[Baltar]

Lets compare to the real world quick.....how the idea here most likely started...
You see on tv, the news, the internet, about some criminal having a fake ID, or fake passport, or even fake social security card. well, theres someone that actually makes them. The person most likely doesnt do it theirselfs nor just get it out of thin air.

Better yet, instead of changing the Smuggler ID, Have a whole new one called the Forger ID thats admin approved and issued. Only those that apply and have good enough RP skills get it.

Yes ... then the ID should say Fake Liberty Police ID.

Here's the real problem ... the only reason for this post is so you can make it easier to get the ID you want without having to work for it. In order to "buy" the faction ID you want ... you have to be friendly enough with that faction to buy it. Problem ... the guy that wants it asks you to get one for him because he wants to take a short cut ... or he doesn't wanna get red with those that are enemies of the faction ID he wants. Plain and simple ... the only reason for this is to allow people to avoid role play.

I can say this ... I'm confident the admins are not going to allow this as it stretches role play to the non-existent extreme.

Yea I doubt admins are going to also. But let me go back to the real world quick on your "non-existent" comment. Did you know that there are some people in the past that have gotten duplicate police badges and police IDs? Well.....the non-existent part is out now :( Almost anything you can forge has been forged. And you just gave me a great idea. Fake paintings commodity! Thats the most common forged thing that exists nowadays. Good money there too

We already have this problem. People fake role play every day. Regardless of how you think this is role play ... its going to lead to PVP-whoring and we've already got enough people trying to take short cuts. You're supposed to fix your ID and rep before purchasing that ubership you want so bad. But everybody's gotta get their ubership first and then they go for the ID. There are WAY too many Civilian ID's on that huge Tanker transport. People with level 80+ and still have the Civilian ID. Why? Because they failed to take the time to establish their role as a member of that faction.

While I do like the idea, the downside seems much bigger. Of course, some kind of phony ID commodity would be pretty neat and far less abusable. At least, it could be really fun in theory, if people would run with it.
