Idea: The KoS list displayed in game.

[tazuras]

Well, there's the small proportion of people that are pirate IDed with no tag/Freelancer tag, who can be identified by name...everyone else (should) have the corresponding tag before their name, indicating themselves to be hostile to the local law enforcement or not.

As for people within an allied faction, this should be resolved in RP...an LPI officer charged with corruption would be tried and sentenced on the ground...they wouldn't have a chance to get into a ship, let alone go around with an IFF...

As for not being able to attack based on IFF, true...but you can attack anyone if you have an RP justification to do so...

I'm just having a hard time seeing what benefits this provides

So would the KoS-ed people only appear to certain IFF - Id-ed players i.e. LN or to everyone? in certain systems?

I think it is a good idea, but it has potental to be abused by people who just powertrade, then get LN id and tag, add the player to KoS list and then keep Cap-whoring them. - Just a thought:D

I think restricting it's use to one or two people per faction would help keep everything in RP. Also you cant RP trials for people who arent on the forums. Also, try sanctioning a pirate for an improper IFF, I doubt you'll be able to. That and they can be pretty easily hacked by unlawfuls, seemingly. And what about smugglers.

Many factions maintain KoS lists. This would just allow people to not have to memorize everyone on them or print them out and have them readily available. It would also encourage more forum RP, me thinks, as this would be necessary before one of the people with access to the list could add to it.
