Attention All Outcasts

[ScornStar]

If you have RP behind the characters, there is no issue. Since you are on the forums, that increases the chance of that a hundred fold.

As for Scornstar, yep, its pretty bad when there's some 160 people on the server, a quarter are whoring diamonds, a quarter are in capships, and another quarter is in NY.

The point about capships vs bombers is this- when you fly a capship and see an enemy, you have two choices. One, charge in guns blazing, or two, talk for awhile. You can startup number two midfight without too much worry, since your armor and lack of dodging anyway won't make it do too much harm. Little stuff can't do that- you stop to type, you get nailed. So you get in your RP beforehand. Since everyone who flies fighters tends to do this, there is no issue- if you didn't, there would be a LOT less RP going around, and the place would be less fun. Unfortunately, a lot of capship owners can be classified into the following categories:

1) OMG, big ship...
2) Wow. Lotsa firepower.
Subgroup A: That means I can crush the noobz under my boots! Ha!
Subgroup B: That means people will think twice before crossing me, so I can get in some pre-fight RP.
3) Nice armor there. That'll give me time to type.
4) I've got a cool idea for a capship's RP, time to make it happen, even if the pricetag gives me nightmares.
Top to bottom is most common to least common, sadly. That's why we do this, to get people to move down on that list and see that capships are more than engines of destruction and PvP, but defensive platforms behind which one can RP more safely.

I dont think thats the different types. I think those are the different stages I went through exactly minus #2 subgroup A, but I also think that these rules will speed up the process at all, they may just chase away unrealized potential. When i came here I was stoked I never seen a FreeLancer mod before as in this is my first. I got on the forums about the second day and have been here ever since. I tried to catch on to what was going on by just experienceing it but there is much that happens here on the forums that adds to that and thus the game was breathed new life.

If there was some clown telling me that I had to give up my ship I would have gotten irate...:$ Wait I did. But after that a couple folk gave me some good pointers to help integrate better. 13 cent, and Mwerte, these folk really were all about helping folk understand things here and did it with tack, well 13 cent said there was a $5 credit bounty on me first and killed me then he was amiable.

And I think there is alot less RP going on when things like this are being discussed. Think of the folk you could be RPing with or the new folk you could meet or guide if you weren't here trying to deny them capital ships. Denying it is just away of keeping more of the toys on the playground for your selves. Share and let others play.
