ID pictures

[icy_dew]

this is a small thing to add, but it would be a fun thing to have.

you know how when you examine a paper or a cultist talisman, you get a picture of the thing on your screen?

what if that would happen when you examine an ID? with a picture and name and stuff?

I was thinking about this myself recently. Examining an ID in your hand might open a more detailed window showing a blown-up picture of the owner's face and some of the other background details we put into character creation that don't seem to have any bearing: Home system, Citizenship, Faction, Religion.

+1 for all of this except Faction, because your affiliations/employers wouldn't likely end up on an identification card, especially an employee's access card for NanoTrasen.

Someone was talking about adding "Papers, please" features in some form in future. ID cards could be reformed into universal identity cards which I think might be cool. They could hold everything in them; records, employment, encrypted data for airlock access. Creating records for a record-less person could be as simple as inserting a card and downloading to the computers (would make records being deleted easier to deal with).
