As my time being on the server, I have encountered HS multiple times, and one side was working a bit with them and being hostile to them.
I respect the high command in the faction since I see the dedication on the forum. But I guess when I encounter the faction in-game, I might have stumble across rookies or people who usually rather PvP to RP.
Good ones.
I have encountered you once with my BD character. You were pretty hostile, but as we rped, it was a good interaction. Which it was a month or two ago.
Bad ones
When you started, you were in a good rhythm and managed to do good RP interaction, but I see the quality RP hinders down as the days pass.
For Example.
As I attempt to discuss with one of your members, it usually goes like "Go away or die" Which like, come on, can't you like reply more mature? I get that a few people don't bother with RP but also the game element.
Second, It seems whenever I am fighting with you and about the peak of losing, I see you people combat docking, and as Kherty wrote, you even tried to disconnect mid-space. So I think that it is relatively common inside your faction to avoid getting killed, which disappoints me.
To sum up, doing more RP in the game won't do anybody harm; instead, it will improve your mood. Since in my personal experience, when I have a good RP with someone, it doesn't matter to me if I die or win because getting killed, like when someone says "Red on Radar" is quite annoying.
