Corsairs that dock in New Berlin and friends

[Laowai]

Rheinland is a fascist (minus any apparent form of genetic discrimination) democratic state without a standard of presumption of innocence, up to and including in prosecutions of Rheinwehr personnel. It appears to legislate through a 2 chamber Reichstag, yet it's Kanzler is worshipped via it's state religion, which may suggest some aspects of Rheinland society are in a sort of civil war with each other.

Regardless of it's process of legislature, Rheinland justice is administered by senior Kriegsmarine command, and is generally swift, immediate and permanent. It is also biased according to faction. Generally, corporations from Rheinland are given more chances then quasilegal groups like the Junkers or Zoners.

I would imagine that civil cases would likely be handled by more formal courts, but Kriegsmarine tribunals seem to handle most criminal cases when they occur in space. Presumably, the Heer would handle land criminal cases, or the Polize.

Also, I found the typo referencing the Sturmabteilung rather amusing, considering some might confuse it with the Southern Alliance, and that some may also assume (Wilde) that Nomadic infestation occured in the Third Reich.

Nice post, Gronath.

I get this stuff alot too as my LSF character.

Yesterday;

I encounter a Titan in New York. Corsair tag'd and ID'd. Naturally, I pursue him. I engage him with little roleplay, 'cause I've learned quickly that roleplay doesn't work with this lot.

1 hour later

.. I'm still chasing the guy through Texas. I keep catching him with CD's, and he only has about two hits left on his hull. I've given him numerous opportunities to escape Liberty alive, even going so far as to telling him I'll disengage and offer him a full escort to the nearest border system, but like most of his comrades, I get childish remarks like "Corsairs are allowed to dock at Manhattan" and "Corsairs are everywhere, especially in Texas", "I'm never leaving Liberty" (even though my life support is surely failing by now thanks to the prolonged arsekicking you've given me for the last hour), and here's the best one, "You're a cheater because you downed my Titan with a Liberator LF."

*Shrug*

Alot of these people don't know, or care what they're playing, really. They know that Corsairs are pirates, so they think it gives them free reign to do whatever. It'd be nice if admins would start deleting these characters, just to let them know that they can't do whatever they want.

Ok... i dunno who that Corsair was... but yes, that "RP" (using the term loosely) was completely lame, and their comments doubly so (Corsairs are allowed to dock at Manhattan? ok.. look, see previous posts, i think unlawfuls can dock if there are no cops around, call it sneakin' in, but to SAY IT to a cop?.. Duh?? if the cop says you cant dock, you CANT dock...)

again, personally i think Corsairs have business in liberty, and at the moment, the can of worms has been well and truly opened people, and Corsairs are getting almost daily incursions into their space from LP, and LSF players... so be it, The corsairs will mix it up with you, chase you out, fight, whatever, i don't mind... it all makes for good and more varied RP (fingers crossed that people actually RP it, i'd prefer a good RP stoush over a PVP anyday)


@bluntpencil2001 - yes, i was arguing the semantics... but in response to a previous post that was also arguing semantics and missing the point:), im done arguing those semantics now, unless someone throws more semantics at me...;)


@Praetyre : Fascist democratic?????????????

@Xing... ok, im avoiding semantics again about the fact that US companies do supply weapons to almost anyone, an individual can buy an SU27 Flanker from Russia, (probably can't arm it..)which is a current tech front line fighter, and that arms makers worldwide have a yearly arms expo where weapons systems are sold off to governments, law enforcement agencies and... "other interested parties" - money talks.

Civilians should be given a bit of leeway... pirates.. probably not, Outcasts aren't gonna be in a Titan, rogues aren't gonna rock up and buy a liberty gunship... but i think civilians it ain't so bad...

what the civilian then does with said ship... is up to him;)
