Rorry's Renegades

[Veygaar]

Alrighty, to start off, for those of you who don't know, Rip Rorry is my pirate char.

I am wanting to expand his story, BUT MORE IMPORTANT offer others a chance to join in his 'exploits.'

So here the basic idea:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ships used:

Pirate ID users: Pirate Transport, KuEx, Civi ships.

Smuggler ID users: Any Civi transports.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rorry's Renegades will be a group of pirates/smugglers (Generic Pirate/Smuggler ID) operating in the Sigma/Rhineland area. (with possible expansion depending on how big it gets) Rorry and his Renegades pirate to gain personal wealth and infamy throughout Sirius (for the most part). The smugglers can be RPed by players as either shady characters who just wants in on some of the 'Rorry Revenue' and aren't any further involved; OR, a player can have two ships (or more), one smuggler and one pirate, RP em as the same character who sometimes hides out on legal bases waiting to assist a fellow Renegade.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pirates will use Junker/Zoner stations as a base of operations/deployment. And will pirate traders in the surrounding systems. They will NEVER pirate Junkers or Zoners.


Smugglers will be docked at different lawful areas of interest. And their chars will RP so as to be 'unconnected' with the rest of Rorry's Renegades. (aka the shady fellas sitting in the corner of a bar waiting for a mysterious call about some 'found' cargo)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rorry'r Renegades are different because when pirating TRANSPORTS, they are MOST LIKELY to destroy those they are pirating and call in a smuggler Renegade to pick up the cargo to get maximum profit. (split 50/50)

To do this, all Renegade players need to have a good knowledge of the sell prices for their area. This knowledge will be the deciding factor on whether to charge 'coin or cargo' from their subject.

Renegades WILL NOT kill freighters or smaller vessels for their cargo but will charge a SMALL tax (or none).

Renegades can choose to pirate/tax any ship class they wish to, but should do so at their discretion, EXCEPT Zoners and Junkers who are to be treated with respect. (eg. taxing a BS wouldn't be advised.... but hey, you can attempt it if you wana...)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF new players need, credits will be supplied to purchase a Hegemon, which works fairly well as either a pirate OR a smuggler charicter.

Good RP is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Players wishing to join will be assessed to make sure the character they want to play will be well developed and has a unique style/character.

Each Renegade should be recognizable by the way they speak/act/make decisions ingame, not just by their ingame name.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ranks?

Other than the fact that Rip Rorry (me) chooses who gets to join, Rorry can 'kick' out those he chooses if they attack Zoners/Junkers (or any future allies), are spies from some faction, or break the 'Duel of Honor.' These are the ONLY abilities Rorry (I) has.

Duel of Honor - When two Renegades are in the same local 'space' they can either agree to both work there, splitting profits how they choose. OR offer up a 'Duel of Honor'

Duel of Honor is a non-lethal duel between two Renegades that decides who has access to pirate in the given system. Both Renegades engage in a simulated combat EITHER 40K ABOVE OR BELOW THE NORMAL PLANE.

The winner is decided when one ship is 'destroyed' or if one pilot says 'you win.'

Duel of Honor IS A DUEL, meaning 1 vs 1 at all times.

When the Duel is first offered, a Renegade has the option to dock at a base to change his loadout BUT NOT HIS SHIP.

These rules apply to Rip Rorry as well, he gets no special treatment in terms of 'turf.'

The winner of a Duel can pirate in that system for 4 HOURS before being challenged by the same player again.

note- When a player is killed in a Duel of Honor, make sure to PM him to allow him to come back into the system before the 4 hours is up. You may need help in a fight later or log off before 4 hours, in this case, the loser of the duel can come pirate in that system. But if you show up again within your 4 hours, he has to allow you pirating rights.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Characters will be named <strike>either Shipname-RR or Firstname.Lastname-RR</strike> in a discrete fashion that will look normal to the untrained eye. Its not foolproof but it will help discourage metagaming.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What will this all do?

1: Allow folks to make good profit (better than trading imo) without having to tradetradetradetrade, or shootrockshootrockshootrocks.

2: Give Police some more action

3: Traders throughout Sirius will now hire escorts/freelancers. Because it'll be much cheaper than losing your cargo to the RR.

4: Because we DO NOT destroy freighters and smaller ships on sight like many transports we see (we demand all cargo then see what happens of course). New players will still have a chance to gain credits n' whatnot.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alllllrighty, THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT. I want input/ideas.

Have at!

Cheers
