Nerf the Freelancer ID and Re-Introduce New Generic IDs

[Lythrilux]

Please just stop with these circling arguments. I love how you say in the OP that the "FL ID was a buzz for the past year" which is blantantly false, you're literally just doing this to target certain people.

As said before - if there are people finding loopholes to abuse it, why not punish them, instead of everyone else?

If someone is changing their stance and diplomacy constantly, then they're the ones going to get in to trouble, and possibly even set hostile to both factions. In the end, they lose, since they can't get any more jobs - since they screwed up, no?

I'm not out to target certain people. The status quo is that the FL ID right now is extremely abusable for PvP. And rule-wise what they are doing is entirely legal (see the OP). Which is the problem. It shouldn't be legitimate to abuse the FL ID in it's current state; using the ID in ways not intended. If your diplomacy turns sour, what stops you burning everything to the ground and starting all over again and using the ID however you may want to?

The ID makes us Freelancers, yes. However, if you actually pay attention to the RP you'd realize the people involved are more than capable of coming together to form such a group. The bounty hunting and escort jobs give us a source of income to maintain our resources and fund our efforts. This circular, one-sided logic is quite apparent in your wording.

But your RP itself is essentially independent Nomad Hunters - which is not the intended use of the FL ID - and shooting whatever else you're fighting against. The freedom of the FL ID gives you the ability to choose the targets you want, and them pursue them anywhere you like. That's not the intended use of the FL ID. Such gameplay should be performed on non-generic IDs like The Order ID.

mmmmmmm, a call for the "freelancer id/iff" nerf ?

"A freelancer or freelance worker is a term commonly used for a person who is self-employed and is not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term. Freelance workers are sometimes represented by a company or a temporary agency that resells freelance labor to clients"

in other words, he does what he wants, when asked to, if he agrees to it, if not then he goes on his way, its upto him

its an individual choice of the pilot/captain of the ship and his RP crew

nothing should be changed

"FREE" lancer/worker

that is all

"FREE"lancer shouldn't translate into "FREE-PVP-ABUSE-ID"lancer. Yes, I understand that the Freelancer roleplay itself should not be sacrificed in any changes, but with my suggestions how is it cast away? The ID needs changes to stop people using it in a way that is not it's intended use.

its not that easy to change your rep,its something you have to nurture from the moment you mounted the ID,every npc you shoot,every bribe you take,every...you get the point..

actually i think its the only line i don't like from this id as it allows a lot of unfortunate scenarios ..it would be better if the only one you could assist will be of those of which IFF you have and/or your tag/player faction

Reputation can be easily altered with bribes or shooting hostile/friendly NPCs. Perhaps only being able to assist those wit the same IFF may be a wise idea. However currently generic IDs are not allowed to assist another generic ID.

nope..a bounty board owner can not post bounties in zone of which have no interest into (as in..its a restricted rp server,keep that in mind)

Bounties have no ZoI unless defined by the Bounty Board Hoster (i.e why the Lib Bounty Board has Lane Hackers bountied Sirius-wide).

is that how you will describe BHG as well??a terrorist group who goes after unlawfuls?

you my dear have a misconception of what a terrorist actually is,ie..not an unlawful

The BHG ID has numerous restrictions and regulations in how it can act and operate though. The Freelancer has none of these, which is why the FL ID is a superior BHG ID in every aspect.

does make sense for someone from gallia to get their hands of one,if said person abuse it admins can step in,after all...its their job to do so..not yours!

Why would the GRN (or any Military faction for that matter) give out their technology to random Freelancers of all people?

it has nothing to do with ships or id,but because they have nothing to hunt,a bhg id-ed based faction depends on others to generate activity in order for them to log on

ie:if you put atleast 10% of effort into generating some activity for them then writing this post we wouldn't had to read it

The BHG ID more or less has the exact same lines as the FL ID bar being able to sign up on non-Lawful bounty boards. The BHG ID has a plethora of targets to hunt, but why should I bother when I can use the FL ID and go beyond the restrictions and limits of the BHG ID?

You are not restricted by rephacks

why would it be?he's actions or lack of should make an impact to his diplomacy or lack of..

Ergo why the ID is so good for PvP. The free-form diplomacy means you can adjust targets (and blues for that matter) practically on the fly.
