[SCRIPT] Race-Mission Allegiance Script idea
you know how there are mission on the BBS that would be fun, but you would lose all allegiance to another race?
there should a be a script (hint, hint) that makes it so that when you take on a mission from a race, that your allegiance is temporarily assigned to that race. in other words, once you complete the mission...or escape the sector that you just completed the mission in, you should get that rep returned to you. if someone wants to send in a spy, they better turn you into a spy. maybe fiddle with your "identity". that way you could be a freelance worker for every nation, while being allied to every single one...anyone seen Lord of War? this would be useful for missions such as "The paranid developed this ship...we are scared of it...but destroy it, and we will pay you 330192 cr." etc.
a simple way of tricking the system into believing you are part of another race is just to have the script keep track of how much rep you lose and then return it to you once you leave the sector the mission is in...
idk if this really is THAT simple, and there would be a LOT of exploits if not scripted carefully such as an anti terran mission...you go in, you cap all the ships, you complete the mission, you leave and you are so much richer without affecting your rep. but with being careful, that can be avoided

The loosing rep side of it is IMO part of the fun of doing the mission. Its like any other tempter.. Will you dare to do it or not.. But i do take your point. What you have to remember however is.. It is far easier now to regain that rep with the bbs donation scripts.. So not really a big issue. Only issue you have is your conscience. Do you feel bad about killing that paranid or not <G>. Well do you feel lucky punk ( going into clint eastwood mode for a moment hehe).

thats true...but there isnt a way to regain rep if they dont let you dock at their stations...is there? or can you always dock at trading stations...i tend to side with all nations because each of them have something to equip my ships nicely...paranid docking computers, split fight command mkIII, teladi all the trade stuff...argon ships...boron...peace?...well yeah point attempted
i think it would be fun to go into a sector, take out a certain ship thats being guarded..and only that ship...and then gettin the hell out of dodge...you can do that anyway, but this way is sneakier and more cunning

you can ( depending how bad our rep is ) dock at border sectors. However if your rep is really bad you will have to kill a few pirates (except teladi who don't give rep for it) or xenon and then you will gain some rep back and can dock again.
