' Wrote:@MB52: "What about restricting Zoner traders to only flying freighters (Small) and not the large transports? There has to be some sort of disadvantage to being neutral, and carrying less cargo would be it."
but there is. first of all - and many people will agree there... the pvp aspect of the server is a very important one - so to speak the essence of a good roleplay is the risk/chance to have a good pvp. now being a zoner, you ll see very little pvp. you cannot just go around and blow things up - of course, you cannot do that as a pirate either, but ... lets say there are easy excuses to still do so - like simply flying to where you know you ll meet outcasts.
This is true, but most traders, would use a zoner purely for trading, and transfer the cash to another char, which could get into pvp more often.
Quote:another disadvantage is your rep sheet. ever tried to get all factions - and i would advice to include the BHG aswell + maybe at least the more common guards into your white ( neutral ) range? - its quite some work, considering you cannot really fly around blowing stuff up - cause that would be oorp:laugh:.
I agree on this one, it is hard to get them all neutral, I've done it before and it took ages.
Quote:but lets try to see it from another point of view. ... in one way, you are correct. i made a similar suggestion in an old post, too. practicly i was suggesting to ONLY allow pure cooperation traders ( that is roleplay ALG, Cryer, Ageira etc etc. ) to use those transports. maybe allow generic traders transports up to a medium size ( e.g. firefly ) and freelancers and neutrals ( well, back then, it was common to use that ID, too ) freighters up to 500.
I like this concept, it would make it more worth while to be a trader for a company (which would have the resources for large transports) but also has alot more risk involved. Compared to those who can be neutral to every faction along their chosen route. (Of course this assumes everyone sets their reps properly) The problem isn't realy the true RPers, but the traders who would use neutrality like that, to their advantage to only make money.
And.. this is completely off topic, so I apologize, for possibly de-railing the thread.
