It's a very diverse faction that gives each member a lot of freedom to explore their character and roleplay - be it the inquisitive journalist, the deadly assassin, or the friendly college dropout computergeek, anything goes. The people in the faction will help you and roleplay with you.
To add to that, there are some structures within the faction that try to circumvent some of the less immersive aspects of Disco. First and foremost your character is closed economy, which makes you appreciate every credit you earn a whole lot more compared to AFK-trading for a battleship and then going "what to buy next?" There's a solid internal reward system that ensures you'll have ways to earn credits for your character without having to shoot or pirate everything in sight. The internal reward system also gives inspiration for character development, as there are goals you need to achieve in your own way to get promoted within the faction. Creativity is rewarded, and your progress is continually being assessed in-rp, so it feels like there is a point to the stuff you do on the server. If you are bored or don't know where to take your character's roleplay, the set goals are also a great help. The formal way of achieving a higher rank has promoted a lot of diversity in members within the faction, and prevents the cronyism that ultimately spoils most factions with a hierarchy.
All in all LH~ excels at offering a more immersive experience, which is great when you feel like you've tried everything the mod has to offer. Due to the number of active players, you'll obviously be flying alone often, and you can expect a great deal of hostility from everyone, but luckily LH~ will teach you some neat tricks for getting away and laying low as part of the initiation programme. Moreover, the reports you post will be read and sometimes the information used in larger schemes, so there can be a great sense of togetherness and some meaning to your character's actions and reports - also when flying alone.
Have fun!
The best part here is the getting targeted by BHG| once you log.
Fully map Disco, including jump holes, it *really* helps if you want to do something besides mine all the time, there are many places to go to that can be *very* exciting to get into/out of. lol.
Find *all* of the 'special' 'codename' wrecks, that is if they are still out there.
I sort of remember there being codename wrecks in a few hard to get to and interesting places.
If it wasnt for the damn rep restriction (i dont even understand why), i could be a common smuggler around liberty, and i wouldnt mind having to deal with lolberties on the travel, since i know that im taking a risk.
Remember it's two different kinds of Cardamines with the same name and description. You get much more money for the Maltese Cardamine than for the Rogue cardamine.
