' Wrote:-It is possible to RP in an enjoyable manner. If your wish is to "PWN pirates" and enjoy, i rest my case.
-They usually fly capital ships. Then you should usually fly Taiidan bombers. That's simple.
-They don't have access to best weaponry, they have access to theirs + allies weaponry.
-They don't have limitless source of income, that's just silly.
Traders are their income, Pirating is what they do. And that instantly kills your next sentence, which says that they don't role play their factions.
-It is not about combating here, mate.
It is about RP. You simply can't use all that you want, even if you need it to win a battle. Especially if you need it to win a battle.
-And now it seems that RP is inferior to PVP, in your faction.
You should reconsider that as well.
And if they are more skilled then you, and you want to use best of the best because of that.. I have something to say.
Maybe you should become skilled as well then, before making a faction?
I mean, if PVP is of that importance to you, then start practicing, don't make a faction.
However, if you are not skilled, but RP is more important, then go ahead and make a faction. And RP it well.
But it doesn't seem that way, sorry.
Don't just use the best, You will never learn to fly if you fly only the best.
So wanting the ability to defend our system against the current flood of piracy isn't roleplaying? It's somehow not realistic that a well funded guild would not be able to afford better ships and weaponry than a band of outlaws? How can you accuse us of not roleplaying when the people we are fighting are doing the exact same thing? Any kind of real world economy cannot work when piracy is as rampant as it is in sigma 13, and the realistic response of any military would be to combat power with power. Maybe you're suggesting we can clog their guns with the bodies of our dead? If that's your idea of roleplaying you can have it.
When I say the pirates don't roleplay I mean that they roleplay being a pirate/demigod that is neutral to every NPC. I don't know about you, but I don't consider it roleplaying when pirates can camp outside OUR bases without being fired upon because they are neutral to us. Corsair NPCs are hostile to GMG, yet corsair tagged players are not, and that is roleplaying?
Pirates have nearly unlimited funds simply because of their profession and their near-absolute control in our territory. We HAVE to trade for income, we have no other option. Every time we trade we end up giving 50% of our income to the flood of pirates that we are powerless to stop. In addition to their pirate characters, they also have traders and other forms of income. So for all intents and purposes, they have a budget that is larger than ours simply because we cannot make money while they operate at the current level.
Ever since we started playing on this server we've experienced overt hostility like I've never seen in a roleplaying game, both in the forums here and in the game itself. We started out just wanting to trade while we got a hang of the game. Suddenly there are threads with people saying they will mark us KoS for not saying what LLJK stood for. We chose LLJK over Gcorp to begin with in an attempt to avoid being connected with the previous Gcorp(of which only one or two of us were members). We decided to use Gcorp anyway because we figured the hostility couldn't possibly be worse, and the name fit better. We chose a faction to ally with thinking it would be relatively peaceful, and suddenly we're KoS with a RM over a war we thought was over 80 years prior. We get constantly accused of not roleplaying, while we see many others acting in exactly the same manner. It was literally the second day of playing on this server when I heard one of us comment, "roleplaying here means I can do anything I want, but if you try it it's OORP." It's sad, but from this thread alone I would have to agree with that sentiment.

Ex.

That was my fault, I fumbled the shift key on creation and didn't notice until after getting my ship and so forth. Unit746 is a test to see if I can RP a "defense AI", if it works well I'll switch to a different character or get a name change.
