    So i was thinking today. What If we added some features to the society part of Entropia.

    What if each society could ally themselves to other societies and specify the alliance on certain planets and space.

    If you are allied with a society you would be completely unable to kill or cause damage to allies and it would show right on there name in space and in vehicles and on foot on planet.

    I.E. Bahq and cK could be allies in space agree to not shoot each other but on Calypso it would be war. But maybe on Arkadia they would be allies.

    This would allow you to form large alliances in space. You could make basically 2 large ones even. Space Knights vs Space Pirates. This would make things way more clear in space as to who you should fire upon also.

    Also to have stuff like Ally chat too.

    Just would make things a lot more interesting.

    I like the idea. I remember the society terminal used to have smilie faces next to societies at one point, i always imagined that to be a system like this but could never figure out how to use it. Would love to see something like this instigated.

    That's for attitudes toward different societies. It's still there. It requires the society leader to bring up the soc info for which they want to change the attitude. Then you cycle through like for template and such. :)

    I like this idea. It would force society leaders to take responsibility for the actions of their members, and if a society had chosen to be in the (majority of socs) non-piracy alliance. Then the pirates in their ranks would have to choose to clean up their act, or to stop hiding under the name of a supposedly clean society.

    This issue is becoming more and more important as we have at least one mothership now offering 'safe' flights who also has pirates in their society.

    I would love to see it, but I don't think it will happen. It seems that lies and deception are the intent for space and that there will be very few actual 'honest' pirates who don't hide behind the skirts of others while shooting the next guy in the back.

    see thats the thing to it wont be about shooting pirates down it will just be about shooting non-alliance members down. because you basically assume that if they are not allis they are not friendly and you shoot first.

    My idea of the system would make it impossible for pirates to hide in ally socieites cause if they are allies there would be no friendly fired allowed within the game system. so they would shoot but not do any damage. So socs would have to pick to be a pirate soc or a non pirate soc basically.

    Although i think like what i said above it would take the "nasty dishonest pirate" stygma away also because it wouldnt be abut theifs just friends vs enemies. allies for non-allies.

    It would only work though if there was more socs like Nebula Virus that would go against the rest.

    I think your idea would create that. It would force societies to choose one or the other and create the kind of interaction you're discussing. The current pirates would be busy joining societies or going freelance in order to continue their pirating activities.

    So i guess the question to is. Could socities do this on there own? We had this kind of thing with ROME alliance. Soc leaders had to be responsible for there soc members. It was tough i had to kick some people out when i got sent screens of them doing even minor things but it really pulled 5 socs together to make something wonderful.

    Cool idea! not a big fan of being in a soc! just like being out on my own! but i can see the advantages! yeah! and i do like how space is dangerous and ruthless how it should be!! hopefully one day players will be able to mine mini asteroids or moons! then you could just stay in space! leapfrogging from spacestation to spacestation! dodging pirates! and hiring mercenaries! or bodyguards! for protection! as you do trading\cargo runs! yeah! rex!! your system would be awesome in such an environment..:p

    i see your point here... but it wont work... there is to much bad blood between various socs and players that have been here for years that it twill be used by a few socs but most of them will not...

    and fyi... BA and CK/PK willl NEVER EVER ally for anything
