Roleplay ? - n00bl3t - 05-12-2008
' Wrote:Don't like it ? Then leave! Sounds familiar , ah ? Not very nice when it's pointed at you.
There are only a hand full of clans wich are actlually realy active and privide exelent RP.I will not say there names , I don't wanna get flamed for doing so. Some people don't like receiving direct orders , or sticking to stupid begginers ships and having there fait decided by someone else. No clan deserves my time and attention , not after what I expirienced recently. I and many others feel very comfortable making our own stories , rather then helping yours or anyone elses.
Half-heartedly /signed Good points, but perhaps a little less flame. I have to agree with the fact that some clans that are official don't have good RP, I know I'm not a god of RP, but these clans could do better.
Kudos to a [QCO] guy that used the word Jove in his RP.:)

' Wrote:many of those issues are built into the game coding and cannot be changed by this mod's developers.Fair points, and I also hope to see the Supernova equivalents. But until then, incessant complaining isn't gonna do anything, is it?
Weapon and ship imbalances, on the other hand, CAN be changed here. I'm hoping to see semi-equivalent versions of the supernova cannon and others added to many of the major factions in the next version of discovery. At least then these pvp-minded individuals can remain in-RP with their weapon choices.
After all, if bombers - the only counter to capital ships other than other capital ships - are constantly underequipped for RP reasons, who's going to shoot down the hordes of indepentent pvp-whore capships?
Unless of course pvp-whoring isn't as big a problem as some people seem to think...
Quote:As for the ships catching fire in space deal... you do realize that you need an environment in your ship to breathe, right? That environment is likely provided by tanks of stored oxygen, which if ruptured -would- bleed off into space, and volatile gasses are more than capable of burning in a void environment - look at the sun (not literally =)The ships catch fire (externally!) a while before they explode, though; roughly 10% hull, I believe. If the ship ruptured enough for the fire to get out, wouldn't you be likely to be dead very quickly due to the oxygen escaping?
Of course, that's really a rather meaningless detail, isn't it? (and sorry for bringing it up, I figured that specific point would be glossed over instead of replied to in detail)

to be fair, we're all wearing fully sealed space suits and we all have escape pods =)

I'm not quoting the entire post, but what you said makes absolute sense.

Fully sealed and pressurized.:P

what one realizes after reading that threat is that i am very happy that i appear to be one of the few people that still have immense fun just playing on that server:). - its as much fun as it was when i started ( maybe more, cause when i started i was mostly confused )
i don t write too many stories ( in fact not a single one really except for a brief bio of jinx / clover ) - but its fun to read other peoples stories, - i never read them as "justifications" though. they are stories - stories are there to be read and understand a character. i can live without the stories, but its more fun to live with them.

I'm in the process of writing a story right now, as an application to das wilde...
Been putting a lot of time and thought into it, but it's causing me to spend more time writing and on the forums than i spend in game now >.<
I think it's coming along good though, here's a link:

It's fun to write stories though, it actually is. That's why I'm in game as we type; do both at once, it's really challenging and you can have twice the amount of fun you usually do.:laugh:
But seriously, it's quite a nice challenge to multi-task.

maybe, but when your current main character is a very much hated pirate in the middle of liberty, multitasking can be lethal =)
