new idea for players chars ships

ok admin what about this, instead of changing the reps give players a set of lights for there class of ship for example

all pirates and rougues med red lights [X]
all traders med blue lights [T]
all hunters med yellow lights[H]
and everyone els either normal or white medium lights [N]

what ya think

I think that's a pretty strange idea, the idea of a rep fix is to let you play in a more realistic "universe" according to your character alignment (ie pirates get attacked by lawful factions), it has nothing to do with ship appearance. That said, it would be cool to have nice lights, lol.

I'll Give it The Thumbs Up, It Gives Other Players Who Can't Read (or just can't be bothered) including younger voidians a better distinction or what RP players have.

hmmmm I'd love pretty lights, but I see a couple problems for me.

1.) how can you hide when you have a dang light flashing and letting everyone know where you are?

2.) Once everyone has lights, it will no longer be unique and those without lights will be the "cool" ones.

I don't know about most of you, but I wouldn't want lights on my ship when i'm hunting someone down or in a PVP. Some ships are painted black for a reason! To blend in with the background and make it harder for you to see. I know that once you click on the player it won't matter. But everyone with lights? Come on now!

Its a nice idea however, if we were to give players lights right now they'd all be banned automatically and if we were to deactivate that particular detection then countless methods of cheating would become instantly available to people who would normally be quite instantly autobanned and removed from your skies...so

1) look like a christmas tree but have to put up with a lot of cheaters..or
2) not look like a christmas tree and not have to put up with cheaters.

I know what my choice would be

Well...changing lights on ships in Ioncross...guys this lags a LOT...believe me...Every [amount of time/per each login] IO codes new mounted lamps into playerfile and it takes a lot of CPU.<-My version.

I went for not bothered. couldn't choose.
1) They are pretty cool.

2)they wouldn't exactly make u 'unique' or allow admins to look special (:lol:)
The rep fix does it for me.

Im not really bothered

if u want lights on ur ship then there should be some where where u can buy them and hang them on ur ship.

this would mean that those don't want them don't get them and save there money.

true, but that would mean that Strail and RimShot Would have to set the lights to be an Individual Item like the Scanners or tractor beams.

That Would Get Very Annoying.
