Could you please change the surrender button to acknowlege for pirates when you have trade permit with their faction? I keep pessing surrender when I recently lost my permit with their faction and its hard to remember every time you lose a permit with a faction.

I'll have to look into this and see if I understand your request.
I was testing today trying to find other reported bugs and I liked the way Pirates work.
Preservation of tactical challenge ... but I'll look to see if there is something that I would fix.

My request is when you have a trade permit with a faction, and you enounter pirates of that faction, the surrender is changed to acknolege and there's no warning sign that you're hold will be looted, simmilar t bountes and warships. But I hear what your saying about the challenge of having to remember. I understand if you want to leave it as it is.  |

The Ignore button: it's not just for IRC anymore!
I'm tired of customizing sigs every time I flash a ROM. This time it's plain old Torp City!

The root issue is that Acknowledge is another name for Surrender and you don't want to Surrender to Pirates |

idea.
have new thing.
It is called 'Greet'
you can do this with factions you are friendly with -- or think you are. They can get pissed about the familiarity and fight you, of course.
you cannot do this to things that you know you aren't freindly with.
Get rid of acknowledge altogether. Just have 'submit' -- i.e for inspection. Replace Surrender with Submit.
Now. Have I broken anything? I think people will find this less confusing, and frustrating.

Greet would be the same as ignore, and replacing akwnolege with submit wouldn't do much. I actually like the way it currently is (although I don't agree that acknolege is the same as surrender)

I actually like the way it currently is (although I don't agree that acknolege is the same as surrender) I think, correct me if wrong, that acknowledge and surrender do the same thing now. I think that Greet could do something different than ignore now. 'Hello friend, I heard about surplus XXX and by the way the War between XXX and YYY has been over for 2 weeks now'. Maybe its just me, but I would like some sort of friendly communications from time to time. |

Acknolege is not the same as surrender. If I acknolege a ship, they dont take my contracts, even those against their faction. furthurmore, they won't confiscate my
contraband even if I don't have a permit. When your at military rank, you are considdered in the military and therfor have equal authority as other military officers. Now pirates, they don't care what authority you have. That's why you can't acknowlege them. This is my logic.

You're arguing functionality of the game with the man who created it. If he says they're the same thing, then it doesn't matter how you think it *should* work, because it works the way it was coded. Whether he can or will change that functionality is another matter.

I'm not asking for it to be changed. Well for the pirate thing, I understand what cory's saying abou the tactical challenge and that he intentionally made it so it doesn't change. I like that. However, I don't know why acknolege is considdered surrender. I mean when I acknolege merchants of my faction, I'm surrendering to them? It doesn't matter, because nothing hapens with acknolege anyways. The designers can call it surrender, but if my unliscened gods/contracts aren't taken, and I have rank, I don't considder it surrender.

I mean I'm not mad or anything. Anyways, I was simply saying that one could interpret acknolege diffrerently, and that I invision acknolege differently then the develupers (even if it really is surrender). Btw, what does that saying under your posts mean? Is it some sort of st joke? |

It's a customized signature that is added to all my posts when I use the Proboards forum app on my phone. Because I like to flash different ROMs, I have to reinstall apps, and instead of using previous ST references that were more elaborate, referring to torpedo bays and each post as if it were a launched torpedo, I was just lazy and set it to this message. It becomes annoying to try and make some clever tagline if you have to keep redoing it.
