Police is not helping

[Mercarryn]

Heres my two cents, having lead a police faction for a little while.

There are no police, and when there are police, they're either independents or under appreciated faction members who don't get the attention they deserve. There are too many pirates and we get tired of being killed or constantly engaged 'for lulz'. Believe it or not, the people who want to roleplay get bored of 'police prepur 2 dai.' type encounters. Or traders messaging us 'pyruts in <insert misspelled system name here> plz halp.'. It's tiresome and boring.

Police factions are hard to do because members get bored being restricted by so many guidelines and a small ZoI.
We don't do escorts unless it's in the ZoI. We're 9/10 times outnumbered and outclassed, and personally I won't EVER help anyone who isn't nice about it.

Another thing I've noticed and this may just be for KSP, but whenever we actually gain an advantage, such as numbers or bigger ships in order to win a battle for once. We're slapped down and chastised by the community because we took the initiative.

so heres a summary:
1, We don't get paid
2, Too many pirates
3, Police Factions have a lot of guidelines
4, We're under appreciated
5, Navy factions USUALLY treat police factions with contempt/like they're lower class
5.1 , as a result nobody wants to be police and everyone wants to be Navy
6, Our ZoI is tiny.
7, Whenever we DO win, we're the bad guys.

To round it off: If you want to whine about no cops. Delete all your damned pirate characters and start enforcing the law. Come back in a week and tell me you enjoyed your time alone, out numbered, and outgunned. Hated by everyone who passes you.

Well, as RFP| member I can only say: Pretty much this, though I cannot agree with the last point. Technically we are treated like the Militaries`smaller brothers and whenever we use bigger ships for patrols the Military factions seem to be annoyed by this. As you can see, police factions are in a difficult situation due to inRP roles we sometimes are "forced" to keep to.

Therefore, like latos said: Set up a police char yourself and play it for some time, before you start complaining about us.

*EDIT*
@Sanguines: haha, that is a good one. Shall I tell you how often I see Rheinland military players patroling Rheinland for criminals? And I speak about both official and independent players.
