Rheinland 2.0

[looqas]

RM indies... I'm still torn on, and not sure what anyone is suggesting should be done. Some suggestions say kill them all, others say let 'em fly unless they go against us. Yet others say that they should be allowed Cruisers and below, not battleships.

I think it should be so. Any indie RH military capper should be made to start with a cruiser and learn the ropes like that.

He's one decent solution:

1) Make cap ship registration compulsory. If you are not registered -> You have stolen your ship -> search and destroy

2) Define some easy to understand guidelines how to RP with the ship.

3) Put them on probation for some definite period of time. Make them show that they are worthy of the ship.

4) After the trial period post a thread asking feedback concerning the said Cruiser's RP and decide based on that.


I think the hardest part is 2). We all know that idle hands are used by the devil as the saying goes, so think up something, some missions and orders and conventions (what and how to engage, how to behave etc.) what anyone can follow. If the RP is left to anyone's own devices then results will vary a lot. And usually to the worse at that. Put your energy and effort to "RH Cruiser 101" -course and you'll see the benefits of that in improved RP and less complaining about the Rheinland caps OORP.

I think we all can pitch in with some good advice what that course could include.

Usually the example is the best teacher, but since nobody can be tutoring online all the time the new guys even good and solid instructions will go a long way achieving that.
