Specially with the pirate coves, they should get (keep) the misleading name. The whole pirate cove is mimicking the rock hermits. If you want to change something, the pirate coves should be handled as rock hermits. Now they become noticed because you don't rename the rocks like you do with the real hermits.Pleb wrote:I quite like the fact a ship could have a misleading name. It makes it seem a bit more realistic, pirates trying to cover their activities. Otherwise if you were a Galcop Police ship and you saw a ship called 'The Jolly Rodger' you're going to know this is a pirate vessel, without even checking the legal status of its commander.Commander McLane wrote:Thanks for the confirmation.
If it's requested I can add another check for this situation, and let them have proper piraty names.

I've got fake names from Captain Pugwash (Libel case - [ wp= ] doesn't like '#') dancing through my head at the moment.

'Roger' in case of the OXP. (Seems to be the usual spelling.)SandJ wrote:'Rodger' or 'Roger'?Commander McLane wrote:You think? (It was actually one of the very first names in my very first draft of randomshipnames.oxp.)Pleb wrote:BTW - I know there aren't any ships called 'The Jolly Rodger'
Re: Suggestion: Clean Pirates
I thought it was Roger, but when typing or writing things out I always assume that if I think it looks like I spelt it right I probably didn't and change it...

Re: Suggestion: Clean Pirates
Awesome idea! This would be great fun!Bugbear wrote:They would only fire on you if no GalCops are present within their scanner range, and would immediately cease fire as soon as the cops show up, ensureing that they maintain their clean status. If you're not alert, you could find yourself with an Offender tag even though you were simply defending yourself.
Hope someone implements that!
