I was killed by a fellow Itani this evening. It turns out that he is entirely Serco, except by birth. High Serco rating, negative Itani rating, flying Serco ship. I can understand his enjoying his advantage over unsuspecting players like me and there is a certain sense of mystery and danger that is appealing.

However....

I would like to see dynamic "race" designation. It seems to me that a players "race" has more to do with their present allignment then it does the race one starts the game as. I would like to see a players "race" accurately reflect their allignment. In practical terms, this means that players should appropriately appear as friend or foe on the radar. After all, if a player is known to the Itani as an enemy (negative rating, regardless of race) then doesn't it make sense that my Itani shipboard computer would recognize him as a foe and not a friend?

If he was rogue itani, then he should have shown up as red on your radar, I've been told I show up as red, are you referring to the name in the sector-playerlist?

the radar is bugged i think, it seems to almost randomly allocate red/green colours every now and then, though its usually okay.
