I like the idea let's add some mystery to the game. Also I think it would cut down on some of the vengefull grefing.
"Oh that "Player name here" killed my little girls ship and now I'm making him KOS with my whole guild!"
But if the person was unable to see who the player was there would be little she could do in the way of such actions.

Hehe. I would *LOVE* to be able to actually BUY an Arklan Guardian, name myself "Arklan Guardian H-7885e", and hang out in ion storms, scaring the crap out of unattentive players...
Along the lines of a widget, how about one that allows you to "mask" your identity or project a "false" identity over long ranges? But get within 100 m or take any damage, and the identity becomes clear.
For example, LeberMac heads to Latos and picks up an "Identity Mask" widget from the Orion station because he did that little sabotage mission for them on that Tunguska convoy back last week...
Before leaving the station, he sets his Identity to "Spellcast" and proceeds thru B8... in his blue-painted Rev C!
Discerning players would think 'ol Spell had gone nuts, and the other member of [SoR], Lin, who is in B8, knows something is up, so she opens fire on the "fake" Spellcast and as soon as he takes damage, LeberMac knows the jig is up.
But if he had cruised thru B8 in a ragnarok... he might have fooled everyone... unless he comes across someone spoofing "LeberMac", then he'd be like.. Hey!
I think the anonymity is a cool idea, it adds to the mystery of encounters, would probably encourage more fighting and escorting, and would make the pirates' lives easier.

Yes, everything LeberMac said.
This is quite possibly the best thread ever. Just about every idea in it is good and something to desire in-game.

Oh god Leber, that "false" identity idea is terrible! Holy crap! Can you imagine the shitstorms?! Yes, cool RP-ing, and a very neat idea in theory.... but in all practicality it would only be a matter of minutes before people started absolutely screaming about abuse....
Sounds good Shape :)
Leber: No to the widget. No, no no no. Building anonymity between nations is the key to making this an MMO instead of an FPS with IRC attached - your widget would just make the current IRC chatroom mentality even more prevalent.
Buying an Arklan would rule though ;]

OK no widget. But I want an Arklan, or at least a Helman Overseer!
