There was a problem hiding this comment.
alternately: if (LAZYACCESS(title_accesses, selected_title))

As the originator of this suggestion - I myself reached out to some Captain players about what they would do if there was a regulation/directive saying that cannot D-Notice Freelance Journalists... The results was pretty much as I expected, and most said they would outright ignore the directive and just cite their ultimate authority to break regulations when required and D-Notice them anyways. This is why I think, quite strongly, that the inability to D-Notice should be mechanical. Alternatively, disallow D-Noticing for Freelancers during Green and Blue, but enable it on Red/Delta. This might be harder to code, but would be a better middle ground then directly putting it into the hands of players. |
Alternatively. Let CCIAA mop it up. The code for the D-Notice stopper is hacky at best, with there not being any good way to recognize alternate titles without doing what I've done. Ultimately it seems kinda weird that the Captain doesn't have that authority. At present, I'm probably going to remove the restriction and see how it goes. If need be, it's easy enough to shove back in down the road. |

The issue is @skull132 , most of the things we'll get D-Noticed for reporting on will be cool antaggy events, which means CCIA will be able to do fuck all about Captains abusing this - and I doubt admins will want an additional thing to have to manage punishing. |

Basically: journalists get immunity from D-notices, corporate reports get extended access. Also added a mechanism to add alt title based access more easily.
And I'm still torn whether or not to enforce the D-notice restriction mechanically or not. Doing it mechanically might be a bit ugly.
