Few things I wanted to see in 4.87 will be liste ddown here with some explanation on why I need them. I said "I want to see" and "I need them" because it's of cause my own ineterest is sparking here but those few futures might come in handly for the whole community as well. Actually I was rising those points in various separate threads in response to some problems people are experiencing with having a lack of something so it just serves the purpose of summing it up in one place to discuss.
Okay, here is the list:
1. Pirate IFF. For many times I said it and I'll repeat myself again just to make it sure it heard. Pirate IFF would be very cool to see around. Why? Well, mostly because the Freelancer IFF is not fitting sometimes. Of cause some pirates would like to have their personality foged out by Freelancer IFF but some wants their IFF to be their black flag of fear and those people are currently bound to use the faction's tags or don't play out the role at all in such way. I want to see the independent pirate stuff having some progress. Like with Pirate IFF it will be possbile to SRP the capital ships for the independent pirate factions. With that IFF there can be an independent pirate base with pirate IFF somewhere, just like the Freelancer Barrier Gate. And so on and so forth. I see many pros and little to non cons in having this little change done.
2. Kempeitai IFF. Okay to be honest it's my own interest here. But it would be great to have the Kempeitai IFF and a single Kempeitai base placed somewhere at house space with chimaera and umibozu selling points. It's just frustrating that Kempeitai ID is sold on useless and broken Kusari State Police Guard system which is not selling a single ship and have only 1 base inside. There is no real need in making it super advanced, just some totally standart base like West Point will work great. Also this will open alot of possibilities for the faction I'd like to use, hehe. So basicly I want to see Kempeitai being as available as the LSF for instance.
3. Can the line "can't ally with any unlawfuls" for all of the intelligence factions be removed? This is not really great since usually intel factions might be willing to use the other houses's criminals to achive their goals. This line just makes 0 sence at all and I'd like to see it go away. You might think it's mine interest again, but it's half true since Kusari is not in war with anyone at the moment, I just want to see the other factions playing more shadow and dagger around, it's always enjoyable.
That's all for now. I might remember something else but I really think it's already alot. Thanks for constructive criticism in advance.
1 & 2: Too late. Adding IFFs is not a small task. Oh, and independent pirate capital ships... I will -never- vote in favor of such things if such SRPs come. There's plenty of pirate factions with capital ships, definately no need to add a siriuswide ZoI on top of that.
3: Sure thing, if they are also willing to suffer a hostile rephack to any non-allied lawfuls, especially house police and navies. Walk and quack like a Privateer, be treated as one.

@3 Don't factions that are already at war rephacked anyway to each others? I mean't the factions of the one house to another.
Also it's shame it's too late from the first two. But can I know what stopped devs from considering those ideas before it was late? Just out of curiosity.
3: He means to ones own house, you can always get info from pirate factions via transmissions and such.
But allying with them ingame is a nogo, why should they?
IFF was just not considered I persume, and the Pirate ID won't be getting any further advancement I guess.
As it was said before, if you want pirate bases and capitals join hessians/Sairs/OC.
Having a sirius wide ZoI needs it's drawbacks.
“This font is good people said, this font is awesome others said, I say it works well enough to waste 2 seconds of your life reading this.”
Isn't it already a drawback to have everything RPed and SRPed to have it instead of just /restart iwantcap command? I though it's RP server where the first option about all those things with RPs and jazz are more appreciated?
Yea, we're done here. That gave me a good chuckle. If you are unwilling or unable to understand that a 1 man figher is something that can be privately owned, but a massive, resource hogging, 250+ crew Battleship which requires a MASSIVE logistics train is NOT something that your average Bill the Independent Pirate could reasonably own, then my point in all this will never get across.
Personally, I see it as a Discovery flaw that some of the minor factions got large warships in the first place (attack cruisers would have been more appropriate, maybe a light BS for the OC and Sairs). But that's no reason to agree to them being independently owned.

2: rename kusari police guard to Kempetai. Problem solved.

Oh pls. Wasn't I wrote "SRP a cruiser" there? I guess SRPing something and having it approaved is a little bit different from flying to shipyard and paying the bill. However who knows, I assume I'm not the specialist such as you in those matters.
Trail: Reusing an existing IFF is a thought, but then you have to go and eliminate a ton of rephacks and remove the IFF from use in all other areas of the mod. Can be done. Lot of work. Won't be done before the player beta therefor.
