A newbies first week

[Galacius]

Thank you all, the people that have posted kind words here and all the factions that have said I should app I sincerely <3 you so much, so difficult to chose if you will all still have me.

Alright now down to the gritty. I feel I have a unique perspective on this wonderful game, Im new and I have rp'd for years. I have expectations and have not built up any "mental calluses". Here is what I found.


+1 some of you are truly amazing, the stories, the rp, how cool you are! It cant be replicated.

+2 The ships and game itself are beautifull! Those who did them did an excellent job!

+3 The factions I have had positive experiences with were truly that. Positive

+4 Did I mention the stories? I have been reading the rp hub and it is EXCELLENT!

+5 I have written 3 rp stories since starting this game and it has been immensly amusing, when I put the finishing touches on them I look forward to putting them up


Now the next things some people may not like to hear and you know what? It needs said. If some of these things dont change players just like me, new, generally caring about rp and with expectations that aren't going to change are going to wither up just like water out of a faucet being shut off. Youll only be left with lolwutters and pvpwhores left incoming, not a pretty thought is it slowly watching as the true rp'ers wither away to the lolwut spam.



-1 There is to much power in the hands of the player. If they dont like you it doesnt fly, and just one person sanctioning can get something with an impressive rp backstory gone in a heartbeat.

-2 A good majority of the players look at sanctions and the admins as mere tools for revenge, and to get their way.

-3 Factions have way to much power plain and simple, for someone that isnt an admin to make the law concerning my rp and the way it goes, uh uh that **** aint gonna fly (excuse my language ill edit it if it offends)

-4 creative rp is being stiffled. If I want to do a long and very rp story that is rp and lore correct on how and why I have said weapon/ship I should be able to do it and the random joe schmoe should not have the power to destroy that if im following rules

-5 I see blantant discrimination against certain ship types and systems, that really cuts down on the rp doesnt it? (Im looking at you gallia and battleships)

-6 the anti battleship bias. people despise them and rule lawyer them into oblivion. Also the price raise from the wiki till now is bs. You all complain about lolwutters and powertraders but do you know what fuels it? Prices on battleships. The rhineland pirate cruiser being 256 million creds fromt he 76 million on the wiki is RUBBISH. From everything I hear battleships can be wtfpwnd by bombers and good gunboats, and i have no problem with that. I have a problem with something that isnt the hand of god is that expensive and steadily increasing in price, all that does is discourage those who want to rp, because you know what? They will not powertrade cause they stop and rp due to their love of it! And if you hate people having it so much, what then? You just want a select few? You do know the pvp whores will drop them in a second if they are as fragile as i hear.

-7 player attitudes in general. If you have been keeping up with this thread you know I have been threatened, abused, cursed at, snobbed, yelled at, and lawyered an uncountable amount of times and this is the first week? You know how that makes me feel? Do you know what hope it allows me to deposit in this beautifull and wonderfull game? Not very much let me tell you.

-8 more stress in this game then in real life. Yeah its true, its more stressful to constantly be told your ideas are useless then to face what rl has in store. We rp to escape, it is a soothing bond that lets one not be the person they are and become whatever starship pilot they dream of.


I feel this is important, and you have every right to write me off and thats fine. I just have a different perspective on this game then most do and will not take it. I am the new rper, you need a steady influx of people similar to me to keep the ratio of lolwut to rp steady from people quitting. Listening may help the path of this game.
