Mining profits

[Zelot]

Let us remember that RP is not just what you type in system or local chat - it is also what you DO.

Want to pirate me? Great, that should be fun! But when someone pirates me in a GMG transport with a Freelancer ID that is not RP (regardless of whether or not it breaks any rules). What that pirate SAYS is almost irrelevant - they would have to have one heck of an RP to justify that behavior.

Should I hire an escort? Of course (although none were available at that time)!

But here's the thing: I actually want to get pirated to some extent. Otherwise trading is pretty boring. If I hire an escort no one will pirate me. I WANT the chance to RP with the pirate.

My problem comes in where the pirate is in an OoRP ship with an inappropriate ID. I could be convinced by some good RP on those issues - but I'm not seeing that either.

I've also seen traders/miners not RPing as well. I was simply relating my own personal experiences as a player who is both in favor of the mining mod, but sees some issues. My only desire and intention is to help make everyone's experience more positive.

P.S- Look at the characters in my sig - if all I wanted to do was make imaginary credits, I would just spend all my time on my .:j:. character and power smuggle. As long as I stayed out of Kusari almost no one would mess with me much. I WANT SOME RP.

No, what you really want is to be pirated when your ready for it, under the circumstances you want it to happen under, and for an ammount you are willing to pay. Thats not the way thins game is played. Miner ID's can pirate you for your Ore, nothing oorp about that, did you ask them why they did it? Did you engage them in rp about it after the fact, or did you just complain to them that they were oorp?
