I am always thinking that Vendetta Online is an RvR game, but it's not. So I would be shocked if someone from the same faction shot me down mainly because he was in a pirate or player killer guild.

So what I was thinking was, a guild having the option to choose a custom color for their character names, if they accept everyone from all the factions.

For an example, the guild color is orange, and a Serco player joins this guild, that means the player's character name will show up as orange on the "u" list in a sector, because the guild's objective is not serving any major faction, but something else.

And then players in no guild, or guilds with a nation purpose, or players that left the multi-faction guild or get kicked out of it, will show up as the color they selected when they created their characters.

So, does this look like a good idea?

I would rather they just add the guild tag to the sector list. Then you'd look at the sector list and see [VPR] Strat and [FAMY] Savet Hegar and [ORE] Conflict Diamond, and if you were at least familiar with the major guilds you would know which one of those you'd need to be afraid of, without having to manually check each one.

The sector list should also incorporate faction, so that you can pull up the list and see who is more likely to be friendly than others, again without having to examine each one individually.

Anyway, nearly everybody who plays for more than a few months eventually installs the TargetLess plugin, which puts all that information right in the HUD. Hint hint. :)

one more feature provided by plugin that should be incorporated...

+1 to display also the guild tag in sector lists, radar, hud, wherever. In VO the Guild affiliation is much much more important than nationality.
