Name: ID Scrambler Software
Version: V1.00
Author: Voxol
Updated: 01/08/2006
===========================================
Recently released technology, now available from all Pirate stations: ID Scrambler Software.
Running this software on a ship will scramble a races ability to detect your ships' IDs, resulting in no change to
your notoriety with that race whilst it is activated.
Use: Once the software is installed, under the Piracy menu there will be a new option, "Start/Stop ID Scramble". Once activated, the owner race of the sector where the broadcasting ship currently resides will no longer change in notoriety to you (if you attack something, it will respond as it normally would, but you lose no notoriety).
There is a catch, however. The broadcasting ship will be detected, along with any of your ships in the vicinity. All ships of the owner race in the broadcaster's sector will see any of your ships as an enemy and likely attack (unless the race is Pirate or Yaki, where there is no change).
To disable, activate the command again. The notoriety effects will be removed instantly, but the ships in the broadcaster's sector arn't fooled so easily. After deactivating, the broadcaster will have to move to another sector before freind/foe relations are reset.

For testing version only: Software is installed in player ship from the onset. Price at pirate stations is temporary since it's probably far too low.
Could do with any ideas on this. X3 is very restrictive with notoriety, but I've tried to keep things as balanced as possible since I really dont want this script branded as a cheat.
HINT: Works as a real challenge with LV's Race Response Fleets.
I havn't done much testing with whole fleets of ships, so any reports on how it performs in non-solo situations would be greatly appreciated.
If it is still making life too easy, what about making it a consumable, so it costs every time you run it? Or make it constantly drain your notoriety whilst using it?
Any ideas much appreciated,
Voxol.
