Rheinland Military [RM] Feedback Thread

[Malexa]

The [RM] faction always tries to provide a fair, a fun and still authentic atmosphere within Rheinland.

We also try to include independent RM players into our patrols or roleplay, if they actually want to roleplay with us.
That said we also try to hold them back a bit from jumping at smaller vessels like lone fighters or bombers, or even fighter teams, when they are not in a gunboat but in a Cruiser or battleship. (Gunboats attacking 3 or 4 fighters are fair game to be honest, since the 4 fighters have a verry good and fair chance to defend themself against a gunboat)

Now the authentic situation comes into play as well. While it may have been not completely fair to shoot you down with this much firepower, you had the roleplay for a long time.
We often forget what chars we play.
You are messing with a houses military here and it would not make sense in RP to not play out the massive firepower card here.
You always had the option to retreat, and wait for a better chance, if the present fighters did not want to fight you 1 vs 1 or whatever the numbers have been. Instead of chosing the medium roleplay way of referring to the "honor" one can get in this kind of battle, the pilot chose to go the hardliner roleplay way. Make use of the large guns and make you leave. Their task was to secure the system and either destroy or arrest you. They chose a third option and offered you a way to escape.

While the [RM] concentrates on the fair fighting way most of the times, don't exclude the more authentic way of roleplay. Never forget who you are. A lonely pilot in a cockpit, being affiliated for several reasons. honor, money, beliefs. If you roam around New Berlin system and stumble over a Cruiser securing a station or the lanes, you don't go "ololol take on someone of your size" and circle the ship.

Knowing when to use a retreat or keeping your distance is also a verry big factor in the roleplay of this server. You can't always have the option to win.
The other way around is exactly the same. If a lonely 3 man wing meets 6 hessians, they most likely want to retreat. If they are cornered and it comes to a 3on3 its even better for them. If not, they should try to escape.
Don't forget who you roleplay. A human being with the wish to stay alive as long as possible.

On a further note, please be a bit lenient with new pilots within the official [RM]. In most cases they are still learning, so please don't be too harsh with them when a roleplay situation or a fight did not turn out as you expected it to be.
