What if there was a command to rename common gear?

Imagine a level 10 engineer skill or just a basic command that lets you rename certain uber-common items like carapace gear so it doesn’t look like everyone is running around wearing the same shit?

Imms would be able to set an object with a specific rename flag that makes it susceptible to this command.

I’d say hell yeah provided a regular person (i.e. not a forcer or whatever) could examine it and see what it was a renamed version of.

That’s a great idea. It would add some visual flair and variety to the game, make it harder to confuse your equipment with someone else’s should it all end up in a heap, or help you determine exactly whose stuff you stumbled across in the Lylek nest.

In the same vein, what if there were a settable long description for equipment as well that appeared when a player used EXAMINE? I don’t know how much work that would be codewise, but it’d be nice to see something special about an item for once, especially if it’s clearly something special otherwise.

It would be a decent addition.

It would be a good addition to the game, I support this.

I would be down for this, provided it required an item in game to be purchased. Gotta have gold sinks.

“a small item mod kit”

This would be really cool. :3

This is cool.

have we ever discussed a salvage command while we are on a similar topic?

I love this idea

I was thinking this before when buying starter kits containing all the junk. I’d LOVE to repaint/redesign the stuff so that it’s more in tune with what my character would wear. Is there the ability to add a description to an item yourself?

The best we have right now is armor desc

I like this idea. Newbie question, can you not make items comparable to said uber-common items through engineering skills and the right materials? (haven’t had the chance to really dive into engineering stuff yet)
