VF) Volksfront (People's Front)

[sovereign]

sorry I missed this before. I R Dense. :(

I was taking Beryllium to The Ring and was intercepted by VF)Donnerschlag. I was trying to RP with him before I got intercepted (while in the TLs still) and even ran into a rock cause I was too busy typing to dodge which allowed him to catch up. He caught up and CDed me. I told him he wasn't hurting the government, just the people by attacking me and he told me to drop my cargo. Fine. I continue trying to talk my way out of it and he strips my shields. I type "Ok Ok" just as he SNs my hull. Bye Bye me.

My gripe is with the "you didn't instantly pay now die" mentality of VF)Donnerschlag and a seeming unwillingness to RP out an interaction and instead just use his guns. I really expected more from an official faction with so far superb RP.

And I understand the pirate mentality of "he's going to shoot me/call for backup/run I need to keep him here and silent." because I play a pirate fairly frequently. but still...

and again, sorry about not finding your feedback thread earlier.

Mmm. Donnerschlag is the shared bomber, so that unfortunately gives me no clue as to the identity of who to talk to for the other side of the story, if you send me your character's name (or the name of the Donnerschlag's pilot if he dropped it) I'll do what I can to investigate further and make sure we give traders time to drop cargo.

Be aware that the chances of successfully convincing a Volksfront member that his actions hurt the people rather than the corporations is almost nil, but it may be possible to give a good enough sob story to get ignored. No promises though. However, I'll try and make sure we let you do what we ask, since we're revolutionaries rather than bloodthirsty/greedy pirates. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
