Discovery "RP" 24/7

[Username removed]

If you go back far enough like 4.83 days the level of RP was much lower than it is now. We flew around in Star Wars ships and shot each other. The forum was a joke back then. It is much much more serious now.

Yes and I think this is a problem. It is too serious. Deviate from the norm even by a little and you'll have people pissed off at you as if you would've insulted their mothers. Certain people treat this game like it's their job. It's a videogame, leave some room for some sczhitz'n giggles.

I feel that characters have become a lot more generic as in "I want to join BAF, I am BAF, I share the same hostilities as the BAF share" - Though this may be okay RP, why not add a small little spice to it, make your sister a Gaian or something, something which would make interacting with the group different.

Note my reply to Lex. I made an attempt to join the official Liberty Rogues faction waaaay back in the past and I was flying with a group of them on my indie Rogue character still called Redfire at the time in Colorado and Redfire made a silly joke about how he hates flying through asteroid fields for which I received a lecture on how Rogues live in asteroid fields and how I shouldn't be a Rogue if I don't like asteroid fields and that put me off from making any further attempts at investing myself with the official faction.

Can you really blame people to mainly PvP on the last active bastion of a game that has pretty much been developed exclusivly for combat?

No. There is nowhere else for them to go and most of the "community" is just vets whom I am confident many of them don't even have the game installed. Much of the roleplay takes place on forums or on Discord. It is impossible to get anything going ingame without pre-organizing it outside the game first because people just write something in the Communications Channel and call it a day. I can fly through all of the Houses and I'll only come across the random power trader who doesn't even acknowledge my existence, like they legit don't even reply to my greetings. Everyone else is either in Conn or dropping the bare minimum of engagement notice to avoid a sanction.

Finland has a chance to not exist 50% of the time.

Pardon?

If I had a say, it would be to start cracking down on names like these. Having Moderators take part in renaming vessels that break the RP world. Like this one.

Yeees, go ahead and be even more intrusive as to how people play their game. What could possibly go wrong? Nothing says "fk off" to a new player more than being hit by a wall of text upon login to the game only to be told to go to some obscure forum to find an obscure thread with even more wall of text of rules like you're trying to obtain residency into North Korea and then you dictate for them what they can name their own characters? haha good luck having a player base then.

it is anything but fitting for an Interspace transport though.

It's a fkin indie player. They probably only carry an Interspace ID for the sole reason that it allows them to fly a 5'ker so they don't get punished by Gamestapo for actually logging and playing the game in a way that doesn't harm anyone. They don't give a crap about the faction, they were forced into it. Go forcibly change their name, I'm sure they will appreciate it and will invite even more people to the game. /s
