Rorry's Renegades |RR

[RAL]

Ok well I will put it like this. I joined the RM on March first and since then I responded to two calls, two calls that were not dealing with the RR. I have only seen the RR in gunboats, save for yesterday when I saw a single Sabre and some kind of bomber. And I fly a Wraith. When I get messages from every single trader that you poke to go and help them or that there are RR in system, it is hard to do much else. Being on the lawful side I am obligated to do something about it, even it if it just flying there to tell you to go away, which you do at times but on most occasions you just move into Stuttgart and camp the gate. The RM skype chat is usually spammed about it as well. And with a military tag I cannot run away as easily as I would like to either, so I always need to at least do something just because of my position, which usually leaves me facing 4 gunboats that know how to fly very well.

Here was the last, and second smallest distress call I responded to: http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo351/k...7/screen291.jpg
That was two gunboats, a bomber, and a fighter, which I guess is not bad, but like I said, rather small force, and no backup was at hand until a random unarmored BS showed up and gave me and the RFP time to escape.

You say that the hostility has increased RM activity, but if I see a big group of you online I will just switch characters, it is not very fun to deal with you, especially when there is so little I can do. I do feel powerless on my military character when I know one of your ships is in Rheinland space'€¦ sure say get a cruiser, blow up the gunboats. Well I do not want to get a cruiser, I don'€™t want to invest that much money into a ship specifically to get rid of your gunboats, and I don't want to be part of a system that is encouraging cap spam. And I can'€™t call for help over skype either if that is another point you want to bring up, I cannot effectively run the program while in game, so I am offline skype for the most part when I am playing, so I am alone unless a random person logs in or an indie shows up. Additionally the attitude of some of your members is frustrating, especially veygaar, who acts in a kind of elitist, always knows best kind of way.

I just want to play the game to have fun and relax, I am dealing with a few real life issues at the moment that I need to de-stress from, things which include but are not limited to loosing the house and car'€¦ which is the main reason I have been so high strung as of late, but this is the first military character I have had in ages and sometimes I want to use him, but I can'€™t when you are in Rheinland, I can'€™t just ignore you when I am in space, I get enough PMs about it. Even when I beam to conn to practice people still tell me to get back there and get rid of you.

Luckily Bowex has banned trade runs into Rheinland so I don'€™t see you when I am trading.
And please don't just say not to play as an RM, I want to play as an RM character, but I at least want to deal with Rheinland criminals... there is so much potential in Rheinland for all kinds of political stuff, the criminals there are some of the most politically motivated in all of the houses, but I never run into them anymore, just you.

There is quite a few that only fly bombers and fighter (including me), right now its around that time where finals have rolled around toward the end of the term, and activity is pretty low. The people on are usually the same group, they just happen to generally use gunboats. Activity on the fighter side should pick up within the next few weeks.

Actually, how are you on bad terms with the hessians when you attack the Corsairs in unison with them, staging from their bases?
That is only disliking each other on paper, in reality you get along as good as if you were allied.
My advice: less friends, more enemies -> start a turfwar(which would be reasonable for the hessians more than for you but that is another story)

As for the mix and match tech: Sure you can do it all the way as the system is now "open" anyways - and yes you rped around getting your toys, too and no one doubts it.
What folks here try to point out is that it makes no sense no matter how many pages you reason for it. The "storyline" is really awesome and cool for the Rorry char, but for a complete faction one can't take it overly serious- and that way you will always have folks claiming that you got your stuff via buddyism, which simply hurts your image.

-Again, smaller ZOI (think about folks like Xenos, Bundschuh, Unioners and so on...all small, localized factions that are still lorewise bigger than rorries gang and have maybe a third of your ZOI)
-Less friends just because it is convenient-it is also far fetched
-More enemies, as your pirating should annoy not only companies and lawfuls but everyone else, too cause you are messing on their turf! (And with all the nationalistic rheinland unlawfuls who want a better rheinland you should surely share no love!)

=>be inconvenient, it is worth the efforts and i wish you guys the best!

There are many unreasonable things in life. How is it unreasonable to obtain ships and weapons through alliances and favors? Were flying a ship around in space shooting glowing nomads and space pirates, with cliche accents and personalities.
