ok, i have been playing discovery on and off for a long time now,
but i have a bit of a problem...i really love the game, i enjoy RP very much and there is something about it that keeps me coming back but the case of all the coolest factions have been taken up and now are almost completely inactive, like the nomads and the wild for example.
i think it's about time some other people had a chance to fill their boots and restore it to its former glory, it is a shame to see it go, you have probably heard it all before from many users in the game and on this forum but the flame has died and the torch must be lit and carried onward.
i don't know what is lacking that the members of these "only get in by trial within the faction leaders' permission player groups" have suddenly given up their interest in key points that are supposed to keep the game alive and keep the story flowing as it is meant to.
i understand that there is a lot of rules that people who want to join these factions are not likely to follow
so i ask you to do a draft of candidates who will be willing to run the factions in an appropriate manner and relight the beacons that keep the stars of sirius burning brightly.
i just don't think it is fair that these people aren't here and people who have been wanting for months, possibly even years to fill these roles won't even get the chance because of it.
so please, can we take this into great consideration and try to make it happen, i'm sure there is a lot of people on the server that can make this work very well and i just think they need a chance to prove that to the inhabitants of the discovery main server and to you guys who have kept us entertained for all this time
with this fantastic mod.
if i have posted this in the wrong place please could you re-direct to where it belongs.
if the team is interested in any ideas that i have, or generally just want to chat about this situation or anything else i would be more than happy to talk..
But you need to be a little more specific in your ideas. If you think factions are doing it wrong? Explain why and what you think should change. Right now, its just a "they're doing it wrong" without anything useful.
Today, I help a few pilots with some general questions
I attempted to make contact with a guy that needed serious help. Unfortunately, he gave me no replies. I think there is a language barrier or something. The ship's name is Farequis. If you see him, please try to make contact. A scan of the ship should quickly reveal the situation. I wish not to devulge the problem which this idividual has over open channels.
I was able to make contact 3 new pilots. One needed a question answered. He needed to know where to find a list of factions. I let him know where to find that.
One guy asked if I believed in unicorns. I don't know what he was getting at, oh well.
I helped a pilot navigate his way out of the unknown system. He was very greatful to exit with his ship intact.
A CSV pilot wanted to join a Xeno faction. I pointed him towards the Xeno Alliance.
Unfortunately, some folks thought it was funny to see if an Angel could really die. Well, these guys distroyed my ship. I was trying to answer a question from another pilot to even respond to such dreadful acts.
Pulled a shift the night before last. Not much going on, had a few questions regarding tech permissions. Also had a player piloting a USI vessel inquire about a Tau licensing. I pointed him to the forums to find the Kusari or Bretonian threads where he could get a license. He informed me he was told by a BPA player he needed a Rheinland license to export material to the Taus. Both he and I found this to be most odd and nothing of it on the forums so I told him just to ignore it for now.
Pulled a shift during the day. Have not bothered posting my other ones.
Was quite difficult trying to summarise what rules have changed over x period of time. I am there to help, but people do need to do their own reading simply so I can process other requests for help as well. Helped out anyway, person was polite.
Had one ask about PVP related rules and escorts. Answered it. Seems he was subject to some rule-lawyering by others.
Helped a person with Zoner reputation. (Ironic, really.)
Helped another buy equipment. (I need to be green to all factions so I can do this without wasting time and credits.)
I have managed to do a shift again since months, sorry for the break, ladies and gentlemen.
I have helped three new pilots. Explained chat commands, /restart, trading and ID advices. Also, I have called - thank you LR-Secret.Decoy - for help because of the Universal and Cryer NPC ships, that were blocking the docking ring of planet Erie for more than 5 minutes ... nice lightshow for the newcomers too...:D
