I think one thing thats missed here is the fact that you dont have to pick ONE or TWO factions to play for, you can have accounts from every faction! I've got ships sometimes multiple ships in each of these factions:
-Zoner (Actually fly a battleship, and no i dont ask permission prior to enter house space, if somebody has a problem, open fire....I dare you. However!! My intentions are NEVER hostile. EVER. And I certainlly announce that when I enter. But I am willing to defend myself if they aren't ok with me passing through - never had to though..
-Bretonian (multiple ships here, fighter, bomber, transport)
-Rheinland
-Lbierty
-Kusari
-Outcast
-Gallic
I need to make freelancers and BHs..but meh someday..
Anyways, my whole point is you can play whatever you want whenever you want as you the player, I hop between Gallics and Bretonians all the time! but what you CANNOT do is break the super basic Role-play rules, rules your character would follow if the game was real life - just the basic ones. Such as: Gallia and Bretonian are at war, I can't just transfer cargo from my Gallic transport to my Bretonian transport that would be very much against the rules, because they hate each other and are at war.
You CAN however role-play that transaction! Say the Gallic trader was wronged by some Gallic leader and has decided to turn to smuggling for the Bretonian war effort, and the bretonians are paying him very well for that. Make that up, and go with it, as long as it's something legitimate and somewhat believable in the 'real world' your character lives in. And as long as you aren't just transfering to your own ship (you have to RP with other players, and your friends count as other players)
Also, another example, if some Liberty Navy guy wants you to dump your Xenobiotic Filters (grr happened to me the other day) No problem! Play along, dump the cargo. Dock your ship, log over to your Liberty Rogue Pirate fighter and go blow his lawful butt up!! (WITH ROLEPLAY! Since Liberty rogues are pirates and LN is lawful that shouldn't be too difficult to manage)
You CANNOT though reference that you're blowing him up because he made you dump your cargo on another character, you're characters are separate people and have no knowledge of each other, remember that.
But I've seen you flying around bretonian space a bit Ohnoudied (or somebody with a real similar name) Hit me up if you need help, or questions. I think you'll find most people want to help rather than take your stuff away. I fly the SSFailboat, the fail barge that floats around Bretonia space.
Don't get down though, some people are just so pathetic the only way they can have fun is by trying to take it away from others, and i'm pretty sure those people usually end up getting sanctioned/hated on, etc. (general statement, not aimed at anyone in particular) And sorry if this post seems real simple and a 'duh thanks for wasting our time' post..I'm not exactly...sober at the moment:crazy:
