I am quite new to Freelancer Discovery and i am loving the RP vibe - But the Metagame rule how does it fit and how does it stand in RP!
I can see who is in what system at all times, forums included - I propose maybe that this could lead to too many Metagaming issues to which you as Mods cannot control!!
If i am a Pirate and i am in one system and i look on the list of players i can then move around systems using Metagaming to get my next mark and also vice versa for if i was a Train or trader!
To me this is so easily abusable as Metagaming - is there a way you could set it so you could only see who is in range in your system i mean the scanners themselves only work at a certain length to know who is where!
I think this personally is a major flaw in the RP vibe of the server but where do the mods and dm's stand is this something you think is logical and okay because i personally would rather not know whose where and them not know where i am till i am in range!
Is this something that can at least be discussed for the future?
It's mostly an "honor" based system, but I am told, without a bit of meta information it would be too hard to have interesting / planned interactions with other players.
Without a significant advance in vanilla FL mechanics you should just abstain from (ab)using it.
