Faction members property access

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to tweak X class.

Faction members property access

Post by xinivrae »

Hello,

This is a request to separate what is currently a combined option in the faction menu, in Ranks -> Set Powers/Shop and Quarter powers -> "Create key/keyless entry".

The reasoning for this is that it introduces a security breach for factions, or forces them to change locks every time a member leaves the faction, because they had the option to create keys before leaving (or more specifically being removed) and retain access to those properties.

A single option for ranked faction members to have access to faction properties, and a separate option to create keys to those properties would negate these downsides, facilitating a simplified management of factions and their properties.

Thanks,
xinivrae

This has been denied prior due to it being intentionally this way.

It is meant to create a choice:

  • Give keyless access but risk them making keys.
  • Give a key and risk that key going walkabouts or needing reclaiming

Both are solved via lock swaps, which is a pretty reasonable way to gauge who is active and needs access still!
