I'm all indie (ignore my Order| char, its a trial char. I could say my opinion of why, but I'm being nice) and so far, people know me and dont mind me.
Oncr I had someone say they looked forward to RP'n with me.
Also, with my indie seige, I had a humorus and,awkward RP with some AICore vessels.
Dont complain, just RP with them as you can. They'll warm up to you.
