Repost (due to necroing of old post) of this idea: What about having a select box (just like the one with mood) for selecting and showing to the world our connection with either IFN, smugglers or none of them? @Snape said here that this can be really easily implemented technically, so guess is just about us, if there's enough demand for it or not.
If there's a tag for Imperium-renegades-but-not-A.R.C., why not. The problem is there's virtually unlimited number of factions people associate themselves with. If you want to keep it to just two or three... then I'd want a who-are-smugglers-and-why-would-I-care tag.
Nusul Liberation Front .. or would they pick fights with the Liberation of Nusul front? or the Front of Nusul Liberation?
Not sure I want to be touching the front of a Nusul at all... My input is that I think this might be a cool idea, but that it should not be an "exclusive" thing: ie, if the system is implemented it should be possible for a single individual to show affiliation with more than 1 faction. That way I could potentially be affiliated with all of - Arkadia StarFleet - EFA - IFN etc... PS: happy to start with basic values in the Affiliates section for Smugglers IFN Unaffiliated
Sounds a bit like Life of Brian there. I would choose the faction Remember-to-login-and-play. I don't seem to do it often enough these days.
