IFF Transponder Scramble
/iffscramble With this command, a pilot can scramble his ship's on-board identification code. This allows the starship to temporarily broadcast a "friendly" recognition code to an enemy currently attacking the ship. If the transponder scramble is successful, attackers will cease fire. They will react if attacked, or eventually realize that they have been fooled by a transponder scramble and re-engage.

- Thatidea on these forumsis much older than the post you referred to.
- The devs began programming it before that post was written. Probably before alot of posts were written.
- The devs are pretty smart and capable of coming up with it on their own without even knowing we have said things about it.
So let's look at the bright side and just say 'Cool, it's in the game.' instead of accusing the devs of stealing our ideas ![]()

Besides what Caylin said, this is also SOE's message board...
Therefore, whatever you post here automatically becomes their property.

if you read the rules, EULA and ToS, none of our ideas are ours anymore once we post them here.

Well even if they were stealing our ideas this would still be a good thing as it shows they are listening to us!
