Comedy glasses and giant ears- anonymous protocols and leaving the ship in Odyssey

[Rubbernuke]

We've all been there, our face disguised as we sit in 'that ship we don't know about' in port,

Now, how is that going to mesh with walking about I wonder, if at all? The minute you leave your ship your pixelated face is going to be across the station security network. If you walk off, is it instant jail time? Will security try and kill you on foot to try to apprehend you, if so can you get back to your ship and try to escape- or will we be locked inside our ships until we pay everything off?

Will we be able to disguise ourselves? Buy a big hat? Fake nose?

Er, Delaine? Nah mate. I'm called Bob

Its interesting to think about because it could lead to confusion for some and emergent gameplay for others.

It's the ship that's wanted, not you. No need for a disguise.

But you just got out of it I can imagine the ground crews reaction as they wipe the blood from the deck- "Er....is this yours?"

"Nah, I'm just cleaning the loos, no idea where the owner is..."

But don't check the toilets! Nothing is in the toilets or the tanks underneath. Nothing. Nothing to see, its all normal. Nothing is wrong.

If you dismember the bodies and drop each bit into a lav in a different system is it harder for them to trace it back to you? Asking for a friend...

I've been disguised as a horse since 3303, so far no-one has noticed

A proper thread for a proper Monday morning!

Now, where is my grill?

 

[Oytis57]

Do they really WANT me? Now everybody knows..I'm a Thargoid in disguise!

We'll have no trouble here...

Absolutely right, this is a proper thread.

And on that note, I have been trying to think of who @Rubbernuke 's picture of Delaine reminded me of for the last half hour or so, and I think I have it. He looks like Mr Potatohead. With hair...

We didn't burn him!

 

[Rubbernuke]

We didn't burn him!

Just grilled them! And seasoned them with illegal herbs and spices!

 

[Kenneth McGrew]

We didn't burn him!

 

[Rubbernuke]

But did he get far? Its a local bounty for local people....

 

[Michael Whatever]

I pity the security personnel that reviews the facial recognition results both for (NPCs and) commanders..

....."swipe left, for the love of god swipe left! Oh there's another one and she's got a moustache, quick swipe LEFT. Can we turn this off now sarge? Sarge.."

Getting a bit back on topic, are the people walking about 'real' and not some odd holographic avatar over a robot? Because you could have fun Agent 47 style gameplay scanning people and assuming their identity.
