Rorry's Renegades |RR

[Veygaar]

Ok... Looks like we've made Military and Traders mad. Seems like we're doing a good job in that aspect...

One thing we should all try to remember folks in a RP game. Hate the character, NOT the player.

Now then, to answer some outstanding points/questions.

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)

Yes, this is something currently under heavy discussion. A hostility with the Hessians. I will update this page when a solid stance on this is taken.


"|RR should leave Rheinland simply because they 'cause trouble.'"
Yes it may be true we are quite the trouble makers in the form of criminal activity in the heart of Rheinland. I cannot argue with that. My only answer to such is: That is our Role Play.

"|RR is 'elitist.'"
Well I sure hope not. Some of us may be good at certain things, but that does not make us better than any other individual. kikatsu I am personally interested on why you hold this train of thought as you have been invited to join |RR multiple times and I have personally given you lots of advice on combat and the likes. I only have high hopes for you, as I do for most everyone here on Disco.

"|RR charges extreme amounts in piracy."
For the VAST majority of encounters, this is far from true. We do however hold a standard of Role Play in which, depending on the target's past or actions against/with the Renegades, we may on occasion ask a price above that which is normal. These cases are far and few between, and at times when the target is willing to Role Play back (instead of putting up an angry wall like many do to a large demand) he will get those credits sent right back to him directly after the encounter oorp. I should make a note that |RR see's much more transports paying and passing by than one's that we shoot down (directed to Vrabcek's false accusations). So final point: We are reasonable, yet still consider the Role Play that is at hand.

"|RR uses only GBs."
This is far far far from the truth. We may use -more- than most. But the amount used is balanced out with snubs almost perfectly. If you take a look at our activity tracker you will even see that our most active ship is a transport, and that in the top 10 most active ships, 5 are of a class other than Gunboats. So the use of those ships may be high, but not in over abundance.

- Now to let me explain to some extent the use of Gunboats in our group.
Our tags/names, which are widely known, bring to us, at almost all hours, a vast superior number of enemies often in superior ships. The other day I flew out in my bomber, alone and without back up. Within 20 minutes, not a single trader had passed, I found myself surrounded by not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7, but EIGHT Rheinland Military and BDM vessels consisting of one Gunboat and 7 snubcraft (about half were official faction). It was just 3 at first which engaged me, I was happy to combat them and take on the challenge. In mere seconds each other vessel showed up, gave it's engagement notice, and joined in the fight against my lone Roc. I of course quickly died, and PM'd the fellas fighting me giving them "GF" and "Kudos" PMs as is |RR's standard when being killed -> "Taunt inRP, be polite in PMs" The reply back from one of the players was this: "Sorry about the gank, but |RR is famous."
So by nature, our group is ganked at most times. I do not mind this happening, but one still must look for a way to counter it. That being the case, is it not wise to use a ship which best counters such actions from the enemy? Yes.
So yes we may have a large amount of Gunboats, but we still keep it within reason.

"|RR only ganks, and cries when ganked."
This is so very far from the truth. Yes we may inRP taunt you for having to "win by lack of skill, and only by greatness of numbers" but please take this as it is in Role Play and not personally. Yes we may have members that break away from our standard from time to time and complain, but everyone cries at some point and time; we continue to try to remedy this, as do all factions. But let me rest assure you that |RR is FAR MORE often on the receiving end of a gank then on the giving.

"|RR should not use Gallic tech."
The Renegades have a long standing relationship with the Gallic factions, most notable the Brigands. Such a relationship coupled with |RR's smuggling system and the fact that the Brigands are the black market kings of Gallia, we have established a steady supply of tech from that region, as-well as directly assisting in the unlawful efforts in the area. Gallia player activity is rather dead, so this isn't as apparent as it would be if things were different in the area; but it is well Role Played and time hardened. There are only 3 to 5 Asco's in Rhienland to my knowledge anyways, which isn't much at all honestly. The Role Play is there, it is solid, the ships are neither overpowerd nor overpiloted to make them much of a hassle for folks. I believe this whole "ewe, gallic tech" this is just a way of people complaining about one more thing to make an issue look bigger than it really is.

"What are |RR's ID tech plans?"
It would look something (but debatable) like this:
Slot 1: Faction Gear: Gallic Brigands (No nerf)
Slot 2: Civilian/Borderworlds Green Cell (No nerf)
Slot 3: Faction Allies: Outcasts (10% nerf)
Slot 4: Faction Allies: Council (10% nerf)
Slot 5: Faction Allies: Liberty Rogues (10% nerf) - I've been told no one gets 10% with their guns, if so set em for 25% nerf and ships at 10% if needed.
Slot 6: Faction Allies: Unioneres (25% nerf)
Slot 7: Faction Allies: Gallic Civi (25% nerf)
Slot 8: Faction Allies: Rheinland Civil (25% nerf)
All other tech: red Cell (90% nerf)


Keep questions and comments coming folks, but keep it civil. If you have a dispute, voice it with a level tone pretty please;)

(Tentacle Therapist: We may need to change that once/if encounters ever happen)
