RoS feedback - Reverend Del - 04-06-2008
' Wrote:probably not because the things you need to become a faction nowadays is completely rediculous...... and yes it is unfair the stuff you put some people through to become a factionI did, the DPL are not you're average run of the mill Rogues, they are created entirely from in game events and my own head.
RP server or not everyone turns this game into a full time job and turns it into a stress fest... im actually surprised alot of people stay on this server with the crap they gotta go through.
but then again there are MANY ways to define RP and many people have theyre own way of doing it. the fact one person doesnt like anothers RP is void. like i said.... its not the ability to make a made up story (and yes made up they are) using LR LH etc kinda cheating cause you can just put theyre existing story.
but let me put it this way, try making your OWN faction with your OWN rp thats a challenge my friends one that noone can kick anyone about.
Secondly those hoops are there for a reason, to try and make to most out of the RP that Discovery brings and to make sure that all factions are keeping within the guidelines set by the overall framework.
It is stressful, running the Rogues is a full time job, helping to run the XA is my second job. Frankly I imagine Treewyrm has a hell of a time with the Keepers. But you chose to accept that task when you chose to run the RoS.
That aside it was only a hypothetical question, I commend your honesty in answering it.

kudos to you del bud.
and i do understand why it is so strict because there are alot of YANF's but the fact that everything is tied down so much kind of defys the point of this being a game, and it is like i said like a full time job. it is a very hard job being one of the biggest outcasts around right now. so much so the eyes are almost always on you since the outcasts/corsairs are the 2 biggest pirate factions around. but i dare say we have handled our job in a responsible manner, the outcasts ZOI strectches to all over sirius and yet 3/4 of the time we are in alpha. we do not take advantage of our freedom. i dont think anyone can say we do and i dont think anyone will say we do.
we do our role perfectly our story is just that a story that is my factions background. like i have said to alot of people we are very much true outcasts with the RP that we do. bar my usual sentiments to some fights where i tend to give the opposing side a chance and loose because of it. one thing i can we do uphold our RP to do with out story of pointless battles. most battles we get into we always give the opposing side to turn around.
for the outcast side of things we do everything a outcast is meant to do. we do our cardamine smuggling we do our manipulating. just because we have a slightly different background story should not be what everything is boiled down to. infact it should be honestly the last thing looked at whem boiling down a faction it should be ingame antics that things should be looked upon.
RoS feedback - chopper - 04-06-2008
Lohingren, discussing the ships isn't really what this thread is about, yes?
Titan can survive a Torp only because it has huge wings which make his hitbox even bigger.
Sabre dies because it's 2-3 times harder to hit it at all with a torp!
Especially with it's supreme strafing ability.
Jihad, Loki is not so good. I fly it as a Hessian, and it's a fatass target. Easy to hit, really.
But yes, it's more agile then Scimmy, and has a torp slot. Which makes it balanced.
Average, not uber in any way.
Scimittar is something between a HF and LF. It's unique. And it's great.
Ship arguing over from my side.
I already stated my opinion about other ships.
No excuse can be good enough for a foreign/allied ship to be used - unless you lack the ship of same class.
And if it's for RP only, flying some Werewolves around would contribute much more to your RP then flying BD's.
And yet I don't see them around, unfortunately.

I have to say this... The RoS have made my time here on disco enjoyable. In my extremely biased opinion the RP is just fine the way it is. It has enough refference to the old freealncer story to make it a worthwhile addition.
I like the fact that Lohingren has had the kahuna's to start this thread. Kudos to him, he is taking the critism like a man.
I have learned to enjoy RP with these guys. Thank you all.

' Wrote:And if it's for RP only, flying some Werewolves around would contribute much more to your RP then flying BD's.Very good point. I would like to see Outcasts maintaining an intimate relationship with Mollies rather than Blood Dragons as Mollies are directly aiding their struggle against the Corsairs.
And yet I don't see them around, unfortunately.
RoS feedback - Lohingren - 04-06-2008
well we have a very nice relation with the mollies and i dont wish to sound really bad in saying this but. yes this is still a game and it is all about the enjoyment of flying the ship you want also. i dont tend to wanna hold people down to such restrictions as one ship and one ship only and by god if someone wants to come upto me and ask can i fly a werewolf id shake the guys hand and call him a gutsy mofo and let him do exactly that.
if anyone in my faction came upto me and asked if he could use a allied ship and actually give a viable RP excuse who am i to deny them?
thats the way i feel and i personally dont think i will ever change that sentiment who wants to fly the same ship for ages? ive personally flew the sabre since FL came out ... what 5 years? im surprised i still do fly it, its a big mod one of which has lots of ships.... which 3/4 of them dont get used, the whole restrictions to ships is a bad idea i think and like i said its my personal view
as to chopper i dont like the sabre as it is now... to be honest i really want its minouvering to be gimped i hate how fast it is...... and your right the size of the titan is a double edged sword because like you said its wings save it ... and its wings destroy it... and then again a titan with no wings even though with 2 guns is dangerous ... its hard to hit itl still have its explosives take christiano for example the things a monster when its wings are off couldnt hit it once its wings went bye bye
RoS feedback - bluntpencil2001 - 04-06-2008
I must disagree on 'letting people fly which ships they like' there. I know you mean the best, and I fully understand the sentiment... but, for instance, if I wanted to fly a Blood Dragon, I wouldn't do so as an Outcast.
By all means, fly your favourite ships, but I think this should be done in the correct factions.
RoS feedback - Lohingren - 04-06-2008
but then it comes to the point of what if you cant go into multiple factions? and dont have time to play more than one faction and the only one you wish is the outcasts. i would rather they joined and gave atleast a viable RP then just join the outcasts and use the blood dragon stuff.
we of the RoS have pretty much bought these ships in RP and out, we send down all them inferno's/thrusters/krakans to the NPG in exchange they allowed us to have 10 of theyre ships. which i have just reviewed through and have discovered we have 1 blood dragon fighter and 1 cat.
and i also see your view blunt and i understand but like i have said this is a game with people in RL playing it and we cant assume to make everyone join multiple factions if they wish to fly a certain ship
EDIT:might i add that the bd fighter is inactive right now and hardly plays now

We probably just have different opinions on the issue here then, I guess. I wish I had access to the Saber and Scimitar in my SCRA for example, but I don't fly them since I think it wouldn't be fair. I don't want to play an Outcast either, so therefore I don't have a Saber. Ah well.
RoS feedback - Othman - 04-06-2008
Umm, maybe the reason why most of us have more than one character affliated with different groups is for flying different ships?
