Locking a Faction Tag

Command Notes
/maketag <tag> <master password> <description> Use this command to create a new tag. Creating a new tag costs 500 000 sc.

The <tag> parameter is a 3-23 letter tag.

The <master password> is the password used to drop the faction tag (in order to change the master password) or to set the rename password.

The <description> is intended to provide an indication of the group that owns tag, i.e. their name and officiality status.

/droptag <tag> <master password> Use this command to delete a tag.

The <tag> and <master password> parameters should be the same as used in the /maketag command.

Dropping the tag and re-creating it is the only way to change the master password.

/settagpass <tag> <master password> <rename password> This command is used to set or clear the rename password.

The <tag> and <master password> parameters should be the same as used in the /maketag command.

If this password is set then people must use /renameme to create a ship name starting with this tag.

If not, the tag is owned, but unprotected.

/renameme <new name> <tag rename password> Use this if you'd like to rename a current ship into one that uses a Faction Tag.

Be mindful that this uses the password that was set when the Tag was locked down.
