Suggestions to help Roleplay or suspending that disbelief...

[Amen Brick]

Any ideas?

I'm thinking of adding a piece of ship equipment that disguises your voice so that you can choose to join an all female pirate clan that I'm developing (possibly with a mission to get it). The equipment has no other use than for roleplay purposes. If you don't buy the equipment and you join, then you accept that your commander is female.

Actually, there as to be a different and better way to do that...

A good example of 'roleplay in Oolite' is the 'text adventure' in LittleBear's Assassins.oxp, there are a couple of screens that can't be passed without certain pieces of equipment that otherwise have no effect on the player's ship.
