ivan - i cannot detach anything for any significant time, cause i am not factionized - i have no RIGHT to do so.
and yes - hell, of course the detachment was done to avoid conflict - thats the only reason to operate in these parts in RP. my char ( not myself - a concept some ppl should take in ) - wants to avoid conflicts. - so she takes actions to achive it.
sticking to what a character percieves and how a character decides and takes action - that is how disco RP may work. not what a player knows, thinks and wishes for.
generally - characters know a good deal less than players - and only few players manage to RP their characters ignorant enough.
but i don t get it why you say "avoiding conflict" makes the move less sympathetic. i m at a loss what more would you expect from a freeport in delta
edit:
about the food.... be real. - food gives you nothing. if you don t roleplay suffering from food, you don t need food. - the game engines doesn t make you suffer from food ( like adding mass to your ships - so they feel sluggish and your reactions become worse due to starvation )
what we have here is TIME vs. PROFIT. if zoners got a decent coin from delivering food which they ought to do - more zoners would do it
but if they get like 500k for a 20 min delivery - no one will do. - there is not enough incentive ... blame the tradesystem - i don t know. ( i don t btw. )
edit2:
on a technical note - the zoner factions have feedback threads. - yet - all those that made fun flood topics or ranted a little or let off steam - failed to post in those in the past. its like complaining under your breath for years until it comes to a huge burst out where you grab a gun and run amok.
instead you could have addressed what you dislike for ages in the past and achieve a much better and constructive feedback. - but like in RL - official feedback is avoided as long as people can complain to themselves or to similarly minded people who also fail to file constructive critizism in the official threads.
