Rheinland Federal Police

[Monk]

ahem...yes...we are here...sort of

I have been pretty busy as of late and was going to make a transfer of power to a more active person but they themselves seemed to have been dragged back to RL as well. I was really hoping this person could turn it around but, unfortunately, that didn't work out. Perhaps it will soon.

It has been tough in the past flying as RFP the way I envisioned it. The Phantom has its drawbacks as you really need a trio to effectively handle all threats, though a loner can handle a VHF if flown right.

Also, RP with traders has been like pulling teeth out. Most traders barely comment on our escorts and following trader after trader to the Sig-13 hole is painfully repetitive.

I think most of us (really only two who care) are really looking forward to some of the changes in 4.85 and have, well, given up on it till then.

We do not, however, hold a monopoly on Police characters or Phantom LFs. If you want to fly indie RFP go ahead just don't use our tag, (RFP).

Actually, I have been saving up some credits to set up a central command ship...not sure what yet

EDIT: also you can click on my RFP banner to go to our recruitment page

At the risk of pointing out the obvious

Those of you who have indie RFP's, suggest you click on Monks Recruitment Banner. Might as well join the official faction.

Police are usually less active than the military factions, because you can't really stop a smuggler in a transport-class ship with a light fighter, the transport will just laugh at you and either leave on impulse or blow you up.

In order to be an effective police force, you really need a backup wing of bombers to deal with those "lolwut, you cant stop meh" type power smugglers, and not many people are willing to fly something that has no chance to do its job (ie: LF).

It is very rare that I see a BPA online while flying as BAF, which is kind of a shame, really

Which is why the BPA has the Commerce Control Division, which, right now, fields three Percherons to interdict and seize cargo from unlawful traders.

In addition, in the event of acts of terrorism, disobedience of a police order, or assault/threatened assault on a BPA officer, any BPA may call for the Special Response Division, a team of well-trained bomber pilots. This will usually only happen in the case of a capital ship assault. (Edit: Or suspected capital ship assault. SRDs are not used to patrol, and we try to keep them grounded as much as possible)

That's actually a good idea. A few Behemoths would probably be useful for the RFP. I just hope the Phantom gets buffed next version, because it's so much crap right now.

Mmm...i like the behemoth idea...sorta like a paddy wagon:P

I would also like to know what others think about having a mobile HQ ship, perhaps a gunboat or a cruiser. We would only have one available to high command and I imagine seeing it stationed outside of New Berlin or Brandenburg to act as a scanning ship and to coordinate patrols (if I could ever get more people on:(). It would never move away from defensible positions (bases) and it would be the center for more involved RP like government propaganda broadcasts and special investigations.

[The Pirate]

hmm well the bomber part thats what the RM is for...THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BACKUP THE RFP which they do in my case

I asked for some assistance regarding a runaway transport

a few moments later a rheinland bomber was there to help me...sadly the transport got away but who cares...i loved the RP.

and yes the Phantom is inferior to the Wrath..except in handling.
one thing it should be able to is MOUNT LVL9 GUNS FFS!

as far as i know all the other House LF can.

anyway those are my two cents

The RFP needs a kick like the LPI just got... I see a lot more LPI online now that Niezck has the reigns.

LPI uses Armored Transports and Mammoths as "Riot vans" to take down smugglers with the help of flatfoot LPI Liberators. RFP should try the same.
