In game ship names

[Adam_Spire]

Well, if they dont have tag, they are so called "indies". Pretty everyone can be one of them. You just need a few bribes and/or few missions. So even even someone who started playing today, dont know english and rules can be member of NPC faction like Outcast/Corsairs/Rouges. Tagged characters are members of official PLAYER faction. Its pretty hard to get into them, you need a lot of RP experience and if you get inside you have to RP.
Result: You can expect a good RP from a player wearing official faction tag but that dont neccesarily means that all tagles players want only your money.

Another note: If you are/want to be good RPer, you should have the basic encouter RP learned already. Like, i am traveling that way and there is a chance i meet xx,yy,zz faction or said "indies. Okay xx are friendly so i should say at least hello to themm maybe chat for a while. YY are neutral so hello and few other lines before i fly past them. Oh there are all so ZZ guys, those are my enemies so i should prepare some defensive/ofensive RP and/or get ready to be blasted/run.
Yeah, i see some tagless guys they can be enemies or friends. Well when i meet them i decide if i shoud use XX-RP/YY-RP/ZZ-RP.

EDIT: If you are even better RPer, you should be able to think up half decent RP In that one or two minutes of encounter

I see your point yet I tend to see a lot of level 70'€™s with no tags. It'€™s not easy to get to that level without some level of game RP and rule comprehension. Though most encounters I have with untagged ships who pirate me only lasts for about 2 minutes.

word 'improvise' doesn't ring a bell, does it? and just to be clear here - you are saying that you constantly peek the chat window to see what's in the system you are about to enter, to find out who is there. i'm sorry but i find that wrong and game-spoiling. there is a certain element of surprise that keeps the heart pumping faster when you are jumping to enemy territory.

oh and on another note, everyone is like you. they trade, but when they know pirates are in a system in front of them, they do their best to meet up with them. they even hail them on system wide comm. riiiight.

Viko your existence on this thread is as invalid as a Diet soda in an all you can eat buffet. Go to the ??? system and RP there ok?

Well not having a tag prevents those trying to look in chat tab for you from knowing what you are. Which is always a good thing for the one being hunted. If you name yourself [trader]IhazLoot prepare to get the loot taken off you.

The thing is, pirates WILL look in chat list. And any smart trader will too.

Thank you silverleaf. :)

I understand not having tags adds to the mystery of who is in a system, and entering a system and starting a system wide conversation to get that untagged ship to respond helps me RP with them.

My point is a lot of untagged ship tend to not say anything unless they are already pirating you. A tag would encourage RP sooner because they have actual rules to follow.
