Thank you for your very detailed answer and sorry if by continuing this I am polluting this thread I am not sure if I should open a separate thread about this discussion.
' Wrote:players that collect dozens of enemy pilots are a bit strange for that matter, cause only a prison ship that is dedicated to "store" criminals should really do that - so its kind of ooRP anyway if a ship that is not an official prison ship has like 100+ enemy pilots there. ( unless they have the RP for it - however - NPCs do not recongnize the special RP, cause you are - as i said... still just trent from the singleplayer to them )
I just started playing Freelancer on the Discovery server and I have probably a lot to learn about how to RP well. Currently since I'm a bellow level 40 Civilian ID I am not sure what exactly are correct RP actions on my part and what are not (actually I realise that using faction specific ships/weapons is not RP so I only fly civilian ships for now). So for example being a Civilian you mean that it's not very much RP to carry a lot of lifeships (I don't intend to make myself some kind of life pod trader, I am using only fighter ships). But it is one of the best ways to make money currently without having to travel (and thus expose myself to pirates) very much. For example I just go into some Xenos controlled area, fight Xenos until I get bored (NPCs only, _and_ they attack first) then go sell them to a bounty hunter base (so BHG do get those people after all but at least I get payed properly for them). The same I do for hunting Liberty Rogues.
I supose this kind of playing is frowned upon for a Civilian? I do not have yet decided what faction I will join post level 40, definitely it will be a lawful one (otherwise it would be kinda stupid to kill so many pirates/lawless ships right now and then turn a friend to those), I want to live my posibilities open so to make money I just hunt hostile lawless NPCs and sell them (also by taking on missions from bases). Maybe I got it all wrong and I am violating a lot of server rules:(
