' Wrote:It matters because independents with no idea what they're doing or malicious intent get large ships, start causing trouble and get us into wars. Hello, KNF invasion, hello 'Hey, you, I wanna duel! Come on, fight me!" Hello "Hahaha! You're no commander. You're just some guy in a Sabre. I'm in a dreadnought, you do what I tell you." . We don't need that at the moment, and I won't stand for it.
When I was offered command of the 101st I was signing up for glory, association with the most respected group of Outcasts on the server, and the chance to serve and improve the Outcast playerbase. I wanted to make a difference.
Not so much I can do that anymore, though. Now I'm not sure which of the games going on here I'm supposed to be playing anymore.
EDIT: Sorry, Zeltak, but the only indies the SCRA has to deal with are the ones they blow up.
Aye, most of the time we do blow up the indies we meet. However, that is usually because they engage us in the first place. But once in a while we meet up with people such as Viktor Navorski, who is an independent player and proves himself he can roleplay but most importantly he RESPECTS us and thus we respect him. Out of all the bad things that can happen, out of all the OORP I experience, if I once just find a person like him, it is all worth it, because then I know there are still people out there that are willing to play the game and do so correctly.
I understand that my opinions and the way I view the game isn't the same as for everyone and I know that It's easier for me to enjoy it simply because I don't have to deal with so many indies ruining the "NPC-faction" I happen to be in. But it still doesn't change the fact that you can enjoy the game by playing with the people you respect and like. If you learn to ignore the bad and focuse on the good you will find the game more appealing, and I actually don't spend my most in-game time as my SCRA character, infact I usually play on my Outcast character. The so called cap spamming OORP lolwutting people, hmm strange that I don't see that so often it is very strange, for the past three weeks I have been really active, I have only once witnessed a bad form of roleplay of the outcast players. But I just ignore it, I just ignore the bad and play the game for what it's worth, and I do my best to enjoy it, thus I somehow *gasp* like the game!
