Does RP even matter?

[Tenacity]

How old is your Order Admiral? If she's under 30 (and she certainly looks like it), Im going to go out on a limb and ask you to practice what you preach.

She was in her mid 20's, she didnt have super powers, she wasnt a furry or a half alien telepath - though she was far ahead of your typical naval officers, that isnt unheard of even in modern militaries. I fail to see your correlation.

Just to throw that out there. If only to skyline the broad range of narrow views in what's good to go and what's flipping nuts.

She didnt become an admiral until later on her career. You should also note that she was born and raised in the order, and was tailored from the time she was a child to be an officer in the organization.



As to the points of piracy being made by others in the thread, personally I only ever had 3 'pirate' characters:

1. An outcast religious fanatic that demanded people pay their tribute to their 'gods' (nomads) or be destroyed. Quite obviously this character was designed primarily for pvp purposes, as few people would pay credits or anything else to big blue jellyfish, and most piracy on this character was directed at non-transport ship classes.

2. A drunken liberty rogue that spoke in slurred 14th century english and only ever demanded that the traders he stopped buy him a drink (or, more commonly, hand over any booze they had onboard their ships). This character never destroyed a trader or fought anyone other than liberty navy/police, and was made entirely for the fun of it.

3. My junker, who was more of a blackmailer/con artist than a true pirate, and rarely attacked anyone other than non-junker intruders on his scrapping grounds.

There are plenty of good pirates out there (good meaning having quality RP, not good meaning lenient). You just have to sift through the endless piles of refuse that have overflown discovery's sewers to get to them.
