Proposal for Discovery

[Assassin Twin]

OK, I have a few simple statements on this.

1. This is an RP server, and we are all supposed to know the difference between 2 or more characters, no?
So with that in mind, this would work great for RP, with a few minor tunigs I think. If you know the difference between characters, you know this would be for THE RP SECTION of the server players. If you want to have a BS, fine have 5. I wouldn't worry about it. If you are here playing in character, you probably don't most of the time. I have neer even tried to buy one. Looked at the Nomad one in 1 player once I think. If your character is in a faction and has a cruiser assigned to him, he has a cruiser. Don't hate, RECRUIT and keep it interesting. TALK TO EACH OTHER, use the CONSOLE in game(click to talk in system and hit up arrow to console) So everybody is involved, save teh other way of typing for private lines and close range interception maybe of others calls type of thing for RP value. Don't worry if the noob in the BS comes after you, they might have it, but how hard is it to use? I have killed a few battleships in my time lone wolf in system fighters, no upgraded or modded weaps. CODED sometimes, maybe rippers a few times. But stuff you can get in the NORMAL game.

2. If you are online and have a problem with a freelancer, well I honestly switch up chars to something I can fight them in and got return the favor. How many ppl in BS's off cargo everytime the land? And in a BS how often do you land?

3. This really wouldn't come into normal RP on the server anyhow. even AW/WA have no more than 5 MAYBE at a time on at the same time, OR (remember this part) in the SAME SYSTEM. This should be a factor. If you have a Fleet They should have to be in a group, and together. Its not much of a "fleet" if its only 1 or 2 people, so it shouldn't fall into that category.
This also would be a great rule for faction battles, or at least an option for a type of encounter. Also you could make the AI that is in a fleet formation matching at least that of the one proposed, and increase the difficulty of them to be suitable challenge and even a threat.

Limit these rules to TAGGED names. Let it be known in the messages that pop up, that the un-tagged names are not included in FULL potential and interaction of the server, go to dicoverygc.com for further details, blahdy blah...

4. Make a change to the game that allows you to have multiple ships under the same control, as a benefit of 'group'. (this is kind of a side extra idea that is off topic, had to throw it in for input) This would allow for when you have the problem of FL attacking a "fleet" and have to deal with a fleet of fleets. Limit the fleets to certain amount of ships and types in them by numbers.
Say if you have 2 ppl you can have FTRs, 3-4 a gunboat in each, 5-9 a cruiser each, 10+ a BS each. But limit it to only one type of each size EXCEPT fighters. If you want to have more fighters you can, but you lose the highest level ship you could have, like by a slot system maybe. Each group member adds a slot you have available.

5. Make it a MANDATORY part of joining a clan/faction that FIRST thing you have to do is Join the Forum, that will limit people that join for a day or two and disappear. It will not affect the server, just the RPers. If you don't want to join all the way, don't get to enjoy it all the way, thats life.

The fleet idea is doable, but its not a matter of coding, its a matter of RP.

Thanks for lestening and I guess they weren't so simple after all, :crazy: :rtfm:
