  • Changing the character names is a very useful option... If someone is looking to join a clan and to take up some more serious CF business and is not willing to go through the entire process of making all the chars over and over


    Comments?
    Is it doable?

  • its an invitation to cheat, break rules and cause havok on the server

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

  • Well it shouldn't be too hard for the Galaxy Rangers to trace the IP adress and ban if someone decides to use the option for such a purpose... at least you will have the reason to be online

  • 1. GR dont exist nor will they do exist
    2. player does shit -> incident gets reported -> player renames the char -> admin tries to find the char but it is not there so also no IP can be found -> player can do the next shit with the new char -> endless cycle of rule violations

  • Nah .. if you want to do that .. it would be best just to send him an invite(Like in Lineage,.. when I used to play) to join in his clan ,.. and this invitation will change his Clan Tag. Or to leave the clan .. will remove the clan tag. At least it's kinda better.

  • can you code that?
    if so do it

  • only for clan leaders - they should / could get the power / access to rename a newcomer... Imo.
    Coding - think must be intergrated to the server as kind of tool. Same as the stats collector - it decodes the player stats. So the account has to be changed especially the name.

  • That would be useful. Especially if a freelancer char explored everything or has stores...

    |DP|Shock · |DP|Shockwave · |DP|Skyfall · |DP|Red.Dwarf

  • There can't be a way that charnames change automaticly when somebody joins a clan, even Huor's idea, that you include the change char's name command in the clan leader's command console, so only them change the charnames, and not everyone.
    That would also be really usseful for clan members (like in the past) use a Cmdr or Lt. rankings in their tags, like SFP_Mjr. like DC and others had... in "the good times" in past. With Huor's idea of char names changing, we could make theese rank tagged chars and give people another reason to play... to increase their rank and clan leader change his tag. :D + medals, +reqirements, +order +organization... that brings respect frew newbies.
    ( Imagine if you join a mod, in a server where you see few players arround, you can see no admin, no server police listening yu, and people cheating arround (or rumors of that)... why should you be "fair",and speak nice when you see that disorder, disorganization and chaos. Now imagine you enter in a mod, with a server, when you log yu see a Welcome from the server, you see many people in systems with interesting names, and suddenly(again) somebody with a ServerPolice or Mod or Admin tag welcoms you, and tell you to play fair, to have fun and to be nice as all people arround are, and if yu need help or you have something youdislike, you can tell him. Would you start cheating, or insulting, or even thinking bad, watching organization, "cosmos"(order and peace) ?
    Actually the second example above is what happens (nearly) in Discovery, there comes the main reasons that people play. Not for the tought rules or for the big advanced mod(as Disco is not big or advanced), just for the organization, for the fair punishments and fair play you can see arround. )


    Not all people(newbies less) are like us, that we actually don't care much about medals, or rankings... but it brings some motivation and intensity to the game, like the wargames are all arround, medals, rankings, honors, general fun mixed with fights.



    EDIT: About the char names, if that is made working, we could make a list of possible names for each player... like, each player choose from 1 to 3-5 names he will use in his chars, and nobody else can use them. For example I would choose "Michael" "Sephiroth" "Calipso", so we could have [SFP_CO]Michael~SFighter or stuff like that :D

    Chars: [CFPD]Michael~something (x25), [CFPD]~SQMS~{[(store)]} (x3), [CFPD]xfer, Event~Manager~Michael, StarfIier~EM~Michael, Event_Team_2, [GR]Michael[SP] and a blueprint of [CFPD]Sephirothis

  • 1 char 1 account = no train..no money; no battleship, no destroyer -- no big battles, no exploration, different fun etc; no APC, freighters--no money neither; only a fighter ? if you do't choose the fighter, then: no fighter -- no PvPs, no fun, no team, no events, etc.


    Let's not exagerate stuff.... <_<

    Chars: [CFPD]Michael~something (x25), [CFPD]~SQMS~{[(store)]} (x3), [CFPD]xfer, Event~Manager~Michael, StarfIier~EM~Michael, Event_Team_2, [GR]Michael[SP] and a blueprint of [CFPD]Sephirothis

  • no

    Completely agreed... but since there are very few ppl capable of inveting and finding a way to cheat and willing to so I believe the benefits from it would be greater than the potential threats
