The charinfo screen is a valuable tool- but it has a weakness. It only displays three of your target's factions, which quite often leaves the faction you might have interest in up to guesswork. While I am aware of plugins which display a player's faction in the current sector, what would prevent this from being added to the charinfo screen, so that it displays the big three and 'local?'

During visits to unmonitored space, players could choose which of their factions to display as their forth through a radio button on the faction screen (or a drop-down on the options screen). Someone like Ecka would then be able to display a boring 4th POS stripe with any faction of his choice, while some faction fanatic could let everyone know how little a life he has for earning POS Valent.

(Yes, Valent, I am calling you out as the least useful faction. Axia owns you at everything. Aeolus monopolizes two systems, despite lacking unique gear. BioCom just became useful, and their stations look awesome, despite owning terrible locations. And everyone I haven't listed has unique things to sell. Make me KOS and see if I even notice, losers.)
Heh, sorry guys couldn't resist.

This is what AlertMachine is for!

The very last thing I want is MORE spam in my chat window. Also, this sort of information should be available to players without needing a plugin. Third party additions are fine, but they should *never* be required.

I think it's a great idea. We'll talk it over, but both parts are fairly easy, I think, and I don't see a downside to either of them.

Oh crap Mom is gonna tank my Valent....
;)

well, no real downside to it;)

*bump*
