' Wrote:[color=#FFFFFF]The power of every military, in-game, is limited. Constant surveillance is impossible.
Yet, how can we express our support so everyone is happy and they feel supported by their military? Please, I'm all ears on ideas.
The assumption that there is not enough support comes from 2 sources:
1. There is often nomited/too late support (you named the reasons which can't be changed because they are reallife issues)
2. The "perceived" lack of support, against which something can be done.
What?
Make your presence seem bigger than it is by roleplay. You may be just 1 security vessel online but instead of sitting (Dublin now) on Essex and waiting for an emergency call, get active and fly to the fields, talk to the miners, ask them for reports on strange things... just: be present in the perception of the persons you want to protect.
Most often I'm alone in Dublin as an IMG Security ship. Still, if you sit in the mining areas with the people you want to service, if yiu ask them, play with them, make their stay fun and improve your fun, too... this will also result in the perception that you "do something" for them. Even if - in crude reality - it's nothing more effective than being on standby, logged in at the base waiting for an emergency call.
And by the way: everybody playing actively and not waiting for others to start and then react yourself would improve the roleplay in all sectors. =)
