Lack of role-play on server

[Skullz]

And theres your problem. Some people don't seem aware that some form of speach is required before PvP can be enacted for example. Why?
Because PvP is not RP. It is only part of it. A Xeno character for example has a lot already defined for him, simply by being a Xeno. This however still does not allow him to attack you silently on your LN vessel.
The business of communicating in words is far more important here than simply shooting or else, why do we have that rule?
The thing is that a lot of the players here now can't be bothered to explore that aspect of their characters.
Encounters shouldn't always have to end in a blue message.
Nowadays, people seem to be trying hard to use the minimum RP so that the administration can be satisifed before they can get to the PvP they desire. Shame really.

I have to completely agree here. Players just give the minimum, and don't build up on there characters potential. For example, keeping with the Xeno, he can talk about the reasons why he is doing what he is doing, like, "Your company is employing robots sir." "Trader replies" "Get that changed Or I will make your day worse for you" etc etc etc.. Doesn't have to go in great detail, but its better then, "You are enemy, die."
I also run in to players across the server, and there roleplay excuse for attacking you is, "You got pirate ID" even when your just going somewhere to dock for the night, and doing barely anything illegal, or not causing trouble to trade at that time.
