Examining Agent Cards And You - Readster - 09-19-2013

So when you examine somebody, the little image that shows up next to everything is neat, but it also means that stuff like agent cards become more risky due to the fact that it is very distinctive, and the only id that looks like it are the blank spare ones that nobody uses.
This should probably be fixed or changed in some way because it's kind of a dead giveaway during nuke op and even if some good players won't be meta about it, they still know that guy over there is a syndie.

I died because of this (and because Sundance mistook my Jazzy Turtleneck for a Tactical Turtleneck, hehu).

Please let us forge the colour of the card as well.

I was the other guy there and this instance is what made me finally decide to bring this up.

o-ok

the method i'm thinking of is that if you take the access from another card by hitting it, you also adopt the card's color so there's not another annoying focus stealing popup but if thats outrageous LET ME KNOW and i'll strangle you irl


Re: Examining Agent Cards And You - procitizen - 09-20-2013

OH YEAH if the ID computer could change card colors too that'd be pretty good i think

Emagging the ID computer should make it turn every card inserted into an assistant-level one.

That's a good idea in theory, except then people will wonder why that Assistant (or whatever) has a red card after robusting Johnny Supercop and leaving him for dead in disposals.

Unless the tradeoff with access for wrongly coloured card is a desired feature? Would I have to pack an assistant ID to repaint my card every time I stole someone's access?

This guy understands the true usefulness of the emag.
