personally, i am not really fond of "you need more RP to do this or that" . you need an equally good roleplay to roleplay ANYTHING. a battleship does not need better RP than a starflier. - thats just the *idea* of putting higher standards on people with more powerful ships - which is totally unreasonable.
a rheinland BB must be roleplayed appropriately, so must a libety rhino. - no difference there. - a nomad lf must be roleplayed - period. - good / bad roleplay is allways subjective - but being roleplayed is the keyword.
its just - people get offended more by more powerful ships. - i don t know why ppl think its fine when a rhino freighter is ooRP, but then they get upset when a rheinland cruiser is ooRP. - is it cause they feel that the cruiser has to have more responsibilities cause it has more firepower? - that would be focussing on a pvp aspect. - it requires a different roleplay though.
when you apply that logic ( that better ships need better roleplay ) it also says that.... weaker ships' roleplay doesn t matter that much. - but i think that a freighters roleplay is worth as much as a battleships roleplay. a bad freighter RP can mess up the RP enviroment just as much as a bad battleship. - wish ppl would apply the same standards on every ship to create a more homogenous RP enviroment instead of a multistandard RP enviroment.
