"Kuro walks out, just before he leaves he says "I am sorry, the HMS Churchill is on it's way to Chukogu. The Akumabito project financed it at great cost. To protect their investment they installed the latest control systems, and kept the root override codes that were hardcoded into to the firmware. The controls were locked out and the ship broke mooring on automated controls and headed into the Tau's during mid watch last night. The project lost confidence in the alliance and took the ship they paid for, it's crew will be ferried back unharmed from Chugoku as soon as practical."
With that he steps out the door."
Fairly new player here, but not when it comes to role-playing. It is very hard to get into the "Character" that you need to play, takes time and practice and experience. Although I may be a new player, I've had a lot of experience role-playing in actual table games (star wars being very popular) and within computer games so I can bring some of that into Freelancer... But when I saw that quote, and please correct me if I'm wrong but judging by the comments made, HMS Churchill sounds like a cruiser or a battleship of some sort, I couldn't believe the lack of RP gone into it and then the lack of respect for the work that Mjolnir has put into what seems a good start for good RP-control when it comes to ships and factions.
Lack of respect being comments made against Admins and general players who are apparently biased. Fair play to the admins for letting Akuma have his say on this forum... If they where so "Biased" as you claim, would one not think they would remove your comments and put a small edit titled "Removed due to off-topic and bad aggro", I certainly would be tempted to put such comments in place.
Being a new player on Discovery, the major problem I see is the amount of flaming, insults and god knows what else I haven't discovered yet on the forums. Such comments makes an impact within the game itself. Although this is the first one I came across for sometime, an innocent post that was meant for everyone to be entitled to their opinions, but not for someone to lam-bast those they feel are against them and trying to demand answers by putting the same question to a particular individual and hi-jacking the forum for personal slander against others or rants. Gotten so bad nearly everyone I see making a major announcements always puts an end note saying "Please do not flame!"...
So all I can say is, appreciate the work gone into this and I'll be casting my vote but keep personal feelings and feelings of anger off the forums.. period...
