Discovery "RP" 24/7

[Dhomie42]

Despite my rather "questionable" start in this community, I think I have become your average Disco player enough to share my 2 cents regarding this matter.

Lucas has a very strong point, at its core, the game is a space shooter one, so of course a lot of players will want to "play" the game it was meant to be, which isn't necessarily a bad thing though.
People just need to find the balance between RPing and PVPing. I get it that each encounters are very situational, and you might just get /1 /2-ed by hostiles as soon as you are on scanners, or vice versa (which I am guilty of as well), but speaking in a general term, it really depends on the players' stance on what will happen.

Will they RP, fight, or just dock as soon as they see X or Y?
Probably the most common are "fight" and "dock", but it's been this way ever since I first joined Disco. This is where Backo makes a fair point. The lack of people to show RP standards to others is a problem. I personally learned grammar and different expression usage from the other players I have encountered with in-game over my time here.

Long story short, the way I see it, most players aren't willing to put much effort into RP in-game, because they assume what they'll get back isn't worth their effort, at all, instead some decide to use the forums for RP projects, which again, isn't necessarily bad, but in-game encounters should take priority in my opinion. I think this could also be a reason why a lot of people just log to /1 /2 some reds and then log off afterwards, people can't be bothered to put effort into something if they think it's not worth their time and effort.
