They will.

We rarely, if ever, get reports of people who have tagged ships with the NPC ID versus Official Player ID. In my time as admin throughout the years, I don't recall seeing one (Not saying there weren't any).

Usually it's just reports of people with the wrong ID completely (IE, Flying a Whale on an IC ID. Stuff like that)

It cant, factions are still required to use them to get their activity done. But they have the posibility to use "undercover" ships Wink

I love this prospect even more. But a majority of people will see an ID...

Example: "WILDE ID FIRE."

I've done that, shamefully...

Can you not just track the time a ship is logged with a certain item mounted, such as a faction ID?

Discussion was had among leaders and there were more arguments against tracking Faction IDs

I'm not naming any names, but I remember Golly clearing ANC ships to have Order| Primary IDs. I have no idea what became of that project, though.

Added this to the greentext collection here

Speaking of official factions and IDs, any chance the greens could consider allowing factions to use a secondary generic ID again?

I'm unsure if this is intended, but the word for word of this actually means that if for some reason a person wanted to make an indy version of w/e official faction they were in, it wouldn't be allowed.

If it's unintended the message should probably be changed so that "and wearing their tag." is added to the very end of it.

That's how it should be read:

"You are not required, by server rules, to have the Faction Tag of the Official Player Faction you are in. BUT, you are required to have the Official Player Faction ID equipped if your character is in that official faction.
