I really don't want to have to be stressed out all of the time wondering if the next Freelancer I see is going to decide they're bored and lob lasers at me for no reason or without notice. It's bad enough having pirates that plop down a few lines of RP and give little time to type anything. Can you imagine how many players we would drive off if RP wasn't required before combat? I'm here to role play most of the time, not pvp. I'm even trying to get a friend to enjoy this game's RP - it's working fair so far. The constant fear of wordless pvp engagements would probably drive us both away from Disco, honestly.
I'd be voting no. I also like the freedom to pick and choose your allegiances as a Freelancer, so I'm not really behind making Freelancers lawful-bound, either.
Finally, encouraging people to join factions is neat. But, we shouldn't force people into it.
