Lately the attitudes server-side has been pretty cold.
I see people taking advantage pretty horribly when they see a guy that is flying an inferior ship or has inferior equipment. The attitude, let the guns do the talking, is really prevalent mood now.
I wish we all would leave the door open for guys to retreat.
After a good RP and athmosphere or feeling that something epic that is transpiring the pvp comes as an icing on the cake. Without the pre-fight build-up the pvp feeling is not the same.
What could be done?
I, for one, believe that when people see and participate in a good RP event (be that spontanious or planned) it shows how cool it really really can be. If a faction or some area of Sirius constantly have high quality RP then it sets an example which people will follow. And people are naturally drawn towards coolness, so those factions and areas will see a rise in popularity.
I think it's all about showing high standards RP in-game. I have to take some blame for letting the things slide to the wrong direction.
We need more small pre-planned events. All the events taking place now are huge.
