Greetings and a few beginner questions

[mwerte]

Howdy there, my forum name is based on the character I intend to create on this server, pending just a few questions to make sure I don't do something wrong.

Howdy! Questions are good. I'll stop pretending to be dumb and try to answer em. :)

American....from Kentucky.....eh, anything else ya wanna know just ask me.

Hey! We're neighbors!

1. I notice when activating mod I'm given option to choose credits, rep, etc. Is anything other than default bad?

The only ones that will transfer over to the server are the bloom mod and spinning planet options. I recommend leaving both off. Also, ingame, type /restart ? for information on how to go to the area of your choice, get reps specific to that area, and a better ship.

2. I don't like to join clans. Typically, because it restricts me from a lot of actions depending on my mood. (Do I wanna be a rebel? An oppressive regime? Trader? Explorer? Etc.) I'd like to actually RP as a Freelancer, primarily just transporting bulk freight, but don't want to restrict myself from too much. Plus, if I take a break from the game, sometimes lengthy, I don't want people depending on me in game.

Do what I have done, create lots of characters, do I feel like being snarky and sneaky? On my junker. Do I feel like blowing things up? Hop over to my merc. If I'm in the mood to have people swear at me I play my ore pirate.

We like to think that the disco community is one big clan, play where you want. Join player factions that revolve around NPC factions to learn more about that area and instantly gain people to fly with. Tis fun.

Long story short: Can I RP as a total freelancer? Taking all the good/bad that comes with it? (Not allowed into certain systems, certain cargo, if I attack a faction I suffer/benefit in reputation, etc.)

Yes. Although reputation (reputation with the NPC faction) is left up to you, if you shoot lots of LN players, the LN and LPI factions should be hostile to you. Work with player factions, they're generally more stable and can spread the good word about you much easier then a independent player can.

Anyway, good luck out there, if you feel like escorting, look around for RepEx, although we don't go into Liberty (being at war with em and all) and we avoid Kusari (dang farmers).
