Perhaps having "the books" as a 100 credit commodity at bases? Even though a lot of people say it is easy to find stuff here on the forum, it really isn't always. Also a digital "newspaper" updated monthly with regards to current events could be fun and an interesting rp device. If it is just a matter of writing a piece of text, I'm sure someone would be up to the task. People could advertise (escorts for hire, transportation services, unlawful transports for hire, relevant high-profile bounties and so on). It would help to add to the immersion/feel of a persistent world. And it would somewhat bridge the gap between Forumlancer and Freelancer.
' Wrote:So I understand you, a player will make a character who's ID/Infocard/Roleplay is focused and based in one main area, to affect the other factions in their ZOI, to prevent them from interacting in places they shouldnt?
Well frankly that's how it is supposed to be now. Certain house specific factions are supposed to operate in those houses(Liberty rogues, Blood dragons, Mollies), house corps are supposed to operate in the houses and some border worlds. Certain factions like say the outcast and corsairs fly about their reflective ZOI and clash with each other, indie ID people go where their RP takes them. But its restricted in that you probably wont find people out of their ZOI very much. For example finding an Ageira escort pilot hunting brigands in Gallia, or a Blood Dragon attacking miners in the omega's would be bad RP. My idea about RP guide item would be saying where someone should be operating and what they should be doing. For example the Ageira ID/item card/ thing would say that Ageira pilots should be trading in the core worlds. And the Blood dragon should be attacking people that support the Samura based government.

Personally I would like to see more /restart <faction> commands made available and the item could be given that way. But putting the info on the Faction ID could work as well.
@Tachyon
Almost no one write info cards(people please don't respond saying "I do" not the thread point, I know there are exceptions)
I really like the Idea of a Sirus news system that keeps people updated on current politics and news, they could even use the already present news system present in Bars.
@Peder_Dingo
I really like the idea of the above mentioned News service being accessible in game, being able to advertise services and products. Plus it would really make the Researcher and reporter RP a lot more relevant.
Fun brainstorming, more ideas!!!
Be quick,
Be efficient,
Be powerful,
The correct way to pirate
Imo, a RPer should at least know the history and all info card data about his faction. This promote RP and reduces metagaming.
Also, spent a little time in Communication channel to understand the policies and events on many sides.
If a player doenst do so, I dont think the idea of this thread would help that player much.
