Personal Ships

[JIVA]

personal ships:

- dreygon : "MonStar" - ship: Necrosis - a battlecruiser type ship with the unique ability to also mount GB (missiles) in 4 spots

how did he get it?

dreygon started quite early in the days of disco - he had a rather stereotype terrorist / madman roleplay, which was still convincing ... he NEVER trolled or griefed other players - he played FAIR and was very understanding. but then of course - the server was like 40-60 players at peak times.

in that time - his RP was continous, never so exciting to be burned out - and he stuck to it without asking for too much.

he used an outcast destroyer ( hiigaran homeworld battlecruiser model ) at that time - and in 4.84 .... got the necrosis approved, which was modelled ( meshed ) by himself - and skinned by treewyrm i think.

sadly - once he got that .... he started to fade away - and without the continous RP ... his character lost a lot of its uniqueness.



Zapps Tundra:

how he got the unique ship? - he asked - and it just happened to be one of those "logical" choices. there simply was no reason not to make it unique. - however... zapp then announced his retirement from disco along with the chars - so the tundra might not be unqiue at all ( as far as i know - we added the model... but it might be used as a semi public wild ship or whatever )

my own persephone:

roleplay of the char.... rather low key. - the roleplay is generic, the activity is continously low - but present. the ship itself has a history, but nothing that outshines others.

how did the ship become unique?

i simply asked igiss - and he said "ok, if you want to" - the ship itself has a little bug ( i made a mistake in the ini ) - but it gets fixed every now and then when it reverts back.

it is a juggernaut with more armour and less weapons - which only travels with 30ms instead of 90.




what all those have in common :

- ppl have been around continously - and have not really appeared in a negative way.
- the ships aer mostly for show ( looks ) - and should be balanced with the rest of the ships
- they are not meant to be trophies .... and very often, they were already ready to be included ( less work to be done )

chances to get a unique ship these days

- honestly.... chances are lower. that is not cause admins or devs do not want to grant it - but cause the mod has become bigger as a whole. - many players don t stick ( are not dedicated ) to one faction too much these days - and many of those that are ( often many veterans ) have no wish for a unique ship.

unique ships are pure vanity - they can have a negative effect on other players, who rightfully feel that they deserve the same treatment. - besides - disco has so many ships to choose from... there is something for every kind of roleplay in a way.
