What is roleplaying?

[Loki1982]

Somali pirates out in the ocean aren't going to give your tanker ship a chance of roleplay to get out of the pirating interaction, such is life in Discovery. If you get caught out at a jump gate or popped out of a trade lane, you are dead in the water and at the graces of the pirate. Some are better at roleplaying than others.

You as the player gets some choice in who you roleplay with. If you see a toxic pirate in the next system over that likes to shadow log and pirate in front of battleships, you can land and log in to a different ship. Then watch as they complain that there is nobody to interact with Same goes for gankers. The worst players here watch the player list like a hawk, you have to also to avoid the toxics.

Somali Pirates do this to survive......they will not sink a ship for fun.....they will not murder those who are not resisting for they fear beeing shot as well.....and they would NEVER raid a vessel without cargo....

My point is...even pirates have a brain.....and if its possible to reclaim their ship in one piece....why destroying it just for the giggles....

Where was the fxxing realism there?

RP is no cloak to justify hostile actions.......give me reason...motivation....

When you want to PeWPeW dont fake a dialogue that has only the purpose as a key to PvP....
but there is no relevance story-wise! And that is not the soul of roleplaying....

All I want Is that people at least TRY to play a human beeing!

Else I can talk with a wall.....same level of interaction...
