I want to restart OSC (again)

[Stoner_Steve]

Oh, great. I almost started to wonder why nobody replied to this, but it seems I have my answer.

Looking forward to see folks I can continue that thread with.

I'll be pm'ing you soon to get further information about that thread

From my time in OSC, all I can say is, it gets boring to play after sometime, just transporting tourists/VIPs or at times, contraband. That is why the in game activity was very low. From what I saw there, factions like OSC could go great with experienced leaders, who can channel for newer avenues of RP apart from the tourists and normal contraband. If better ideas arise, that can be not only roleplayed in the forums but instead, can be carried out in game as well, I can see a rise in the OSC activity in game.

While I don't believe I had a chance to fly with you in OSC I do understand where you are coming from. While in the beginning inRP contracts may be hard to come across I will be compensating by having "contracts" set up by OSC to generate an ingame presence which will hopefully kickstart other groups to hand out contracts that suit their own purpose.


Edit: Also I am still looking for interested members to join the leadership team with me

It is not just about getting contracts. As I said, contracts usually involve just transportation of passengers or contraband. Which, gets pretty repetitive after some time, and it doesn't have much monetary outcome as well. Not many people would be interested in logging such a ship, when they can either get more money while on a trader, or get PvP experience/fun while in a dread or some other BS. So, to keep the in game activity kicking, there could be new forms of RP, in game events, dynamic diplomacy or something similar.

An example of a new type of RP, that can be played both in game as well as in the forums would be to have a ship moving service. Lets say, there is a Renzu with docking mods and maybe a large cloak (for situations involving treading into hostile territory). You can start a ship portal service in the forums which you can continue in game as well, when people want their ships to be moved from one part of the space to another, without being spotted by anyone. This would be something that is new for OSC members.

I know this example is not that polished or anything, but I guess you can catch my drift. Innovative ideas is what might propel activity in factions like OSC, where trading/smuggling and PvP is done only for RP benefits and not for any monetary benefits. (if people wanted either of those, there are factions/ships better than what OSC might offer).
