My character is Felix Zimmer, and today something happened that disappointed me when I and a Unioner member tried roleplaying inside New Berlin system which at the time consisted of first 2 RM pilots and later another one logged in.
We were basically flying about in the New Berlin system's space, once trying to grab the RM's attention by disabling a Trade Lane and carrying out a "hijack" roleplay on a republican NPC trader. After some lines of roleplay taking the said NPC trader down, we looted a fraction of the cargo and tried heading back home, (hoping that the RM would see an Roleplay opportunity that the Unioners committed unlawful act.) But no, they still were sitting next to New Berlin Planet thinking that two Unioner fighters would marsh into the very Capital Planet in some crazy suicide mission.
It disappointed me... that they in some way metagamed knowing that they would get huge NPC support (with battleship patrols and etc.) if we fought there, but instead we tried making a "Cop vs Bad guy chase" and then possibly end up fighting somewhere more remote, exactly like it is supposed to be. The unlawfuls are supposed to pirate/commit unlawful acts in places that are less defended forcing the lawfuls to chase them out of the system. Not blatanly waiting for us to charge right at their fortress...
I mean with all respect, if you guys claim to own the whole Rheinland Military NPC, then you would care about their safety too...
This is not a flame/insult/etc. I'm merely just disappointed and expected something more. I hope you guys can at least listen to me without saying I'm completely wrong.
