Rheinland 2.0

[BaconSoda]

Basicly you see this all over the place, not just in Rheinland.
I personally think that people cannot stand the fact that when they put up a fair fight, they might die.
Also some have traded so long to get this massife firepower, that it's a waste not to use.

I myself stay with the first statement (altough the other happens) as some people their ego gets to big when they got a fat jacket on.

Their scared, they dont want to loose and do anything do make sure they wont (gank), they just dont have a clue how to RP.

I have a Gunboat myself, but never actually use it unless another capship has been spotted.

My two cents.

I have to say, since the KNF has put in a ban on Bounty Hunter capital ships my farmers to the north have seen substantially less Bounty Hunters up there. Bretonia, I have never, ever been swarmed by a group of Bounty Hunters, not as a Corsair, nor as a Bretonian Constable. I do think this lack of Roleplay has migrated to Rheinland during and after the proclamation that Jihadjoe has made about Capital Ships in Liberty, the lack of popular trade routes in Bretonia, and the declaration by Kusari that capital ships will not be tolerated. I must say, it doesn't happen everywhere.

The biggest loss I feel has been the lack of RP. It would be somewhat ok to use overwhelming force sometimes if there were great RP before it, but it has been constant pvp more likely.

Interesting about the RH caps. I kinda assumed that the ban has been lifted since there have been inside 2 weeks at least indies flying, 2 RH BS and 4 Cruisers and couple of gunboats. All having the tags and stuff in order and doing their bit of RP. Not great RP but learning kind of RP.

I do have to agree with you again, Looqas. If the fights were roleplayed, I would feel no animosity towards the events that took place. The events, though, most of the time don't involve very much RP. It is quite discouraging when you let off a speech about Rheinland's bureaucratic corruption, and you get an almost silent rebuttle from large guns...
