Clarification on Official Faction tags

[Arioch]

There will be some GMG| ships that do not yet have the official ID, but this will be changed as and when they are found. On the assumption that warnings and sanctions will be handed out if tagged ships are found with non-official ID, a short amnesty to rectify the error would be nice.

They will.

We rarely, if ever, get reports of people who have tagged ships with the NPC ID versus Official Player ID. In my time as admin throughout the years, I don't recall seeing one (Not saying there weren't any).

Usually it's just reports of people with the wrong ID completely (IE, Flying a Whale on an IC ID. Stuff like that)

Just a question - How would a faction activity be tracked if non of it's member uses a tag ?

It cant, factions are still required to use them to get their activity done. But they have the posibility to use "undercover" ships

I love this prospect even more. But a majority of people will see an ID...

Example: "WILDE ID FIRE."


I've done that, shamefully...

Can you not just track the time a ship is logged with a certain item mounted, such as a faction ID?

Discussion was had among leaders and there were more arguments against tracking Faction IDs

I'm not naming any names, but I remember Golly clearing ANC ships to have Order| Primary IDs. I have no idea what became of that project, though.

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

Speaking of official factions and IDs, any chance the greens could consider allowing factions to use a secondary generic ID again?

You are not required, by server rules, to have the Faction Tag of the Official Player Faction you are in. BUT, you are required to have the Official Player Faction ID equipped if you are in that official faction.

I'm unsure if this is intended, but the word for word of this actually means that if for some reason a person wanted to make an indy version of w/e official faction they were in, it wouldn't be allowed.

If it's unintended the message should probably be changed so that "and wearing their tag." is added to the very end of it.

That's how it should be read:

"You are not required, by server rules, to have the Faction Tag of the Official Player Faction you are in. BUT, you are required to have the Official Player Faction ID equipped if your character is in that official faction.
