I'd like to see some kind of diplomatic mission where you deliver a pouch that will slightly increase your standing with the faction it is intended for AND the faction you are sending it from.

In addition to that, it should be un-scannable so nobody has any idea you are carrying it. Also, Un-undroppable when you are destroyed.

The reason behind this that as players get very good, the only thing they can do is become pirates. They already have POS standing everywhere. By adding this mission, they might choose to shoot down another player not knowing they have the diplomatic pouch, and get knocked down to "respected" for the faction the pouch was intended for. This would give them something to do again; build up their faction standing.

Basically it would add risk to being a pirate.

lol, this won't stop me from killing you

I'm pretty sure douchebags like TGFT and VPR are the only losers who are POS everywhere, and they're not too big on game dynamics that would make shooting pirates hazardous to their standing.

true (+PAlibans)

Pirren stop flirtin' with Dr Lecter, he might get horny and de-liver ye : )

OP: Excuse me, what? : ]

try a /godmode it should do better what ye intended to do : )

BT, are ye jealous?

heh, I know this char "Lisa50469". I killed his serco-mobile at Initros/Pyronis wormwhole after I asked 3 times for ransom (kinda 1,5-2k) and he ignored me and didn't pay.

I have one POS - Corvus. In the past I have had at least one POS with Tunguska and/or Ineubis, and that/those only happened after I became a pirate. I am KOS with Serco and UIT, and neutral with Itani. I'll probably fix the Itani eventually, but it's pretty low priority.

In short, I don't really care. I pay to play this game, so I'm going to have fun playing it, not waste my time brown nosing. If I want to spend time doing unpleasant things, I might as well get paid for it, rather than pay to do it.

Besides, anything I might need besides ships I can loot from convoys or buy from players. I figure ship selling will eventually become possible, and then I'll have no reason to care at all. 'Course, that might not happen until I'm old and play VO on my wristwatch, but whatever.

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned wristwatches, might give the devs distracting ideas... :P

Any real pirate has good standing with Corvus and maybe some key factions, and no more.

The reason behind this that as players get very good, the only thing they can do is become pirates.
