FL MOD(EL)MAKING: TOOLS, RESOURCES, TUTORIALS AND MY SHIPS (OLD)

I am on discord: Roal-Yr#5994, I don't log on forum more than a few times a year.

I am not making ships for FL anymore, I am making my own space game instead:

20 k above plane in any system of your choice.
It preserves the RP flair of the system, it is visually "there" and there is a theoretical chance of getting discovered or interacted with in any way.

The best solution each of us used to perform serious or private RP to avoid being disturbed.

Worst idea ever.

Addendum: If you are not using your in-game "avatar" (your ship) or the mechanics of the actual game, why not just skype-rp or forum-rp?

Discovery 24/7 Negotiating Tactics:

Yeah, above/below plane makes you completely hidden. Besides, this has some problems. Do you go to the system by doing it like /conn? If so, do we ignore where the system is located in sirius for rp purposes? Also, if some people want to annoy you but not shoot because they can't, they'll probably just fly around you, ramming and talking a lot. It might not really fix interference.

[Hone]

How about Pennsylvania. Cut it off, so you get there with a command like conn, and turn off all weapons in that system. So ships cant run there, have no cargo going in or out, no money making except low level missions/v low level mining for noobs. Noobs get to learn a little without getting shot, pros can rp without shooting ect. Also the bonus of it not creating another system.

Can't take pictures using those mediums.

I think Hone's idea could work.

A lot of people do not understand the two purposes of the system. One is for events, which many of you have pointed out can be done off plane, the other is the conn-like system of people congregating in an area looking for RP without the risk of something like an opposing faction, pirates and or lolwuts knocking them out for four hours.

Unsure of how to fix the ramming issue.

If it's just about taking photos in space, you can do that anywhere. Also in conn.

Problem is that by implementing things such as this you install a false sense of security in some players, or lead them to believe that they have certain privileges or should be overly protected. It's actually one of Disco's problems, and one of the reasons for all the complaining we see on here. If things were unmoderated and admins/devs interfered less, people would conform to "space is dangerous" and simply just deal with it.

See a game like Eve, un-moderated and generally cut-throat. Sure you lose your ship on death, sure people kill you (and gank you a lot!) for no other reason than the fact that they can, but after getting used to that (that is lose 1-2 ships) you take it for what it is and deal with it. From my perspective it is one of those things that make Eve stand out from other similar games, and one of those things that make it exciting and dynamic. Disco could use some of that "tough love" pedagogics, it will school players to just deal with it and play the game.

I know people will say it's just one system, but it is the overall philosophy of it that I think is counter-productive. In-rp all systems are contested since Vanilla - to take oneself out of that setting to RP seems self-contradictory and very much seem like "bad roleplaying": You are putting yourself in an artificial situation that in no way corresponds with the in-RP reality of Sirius.

In short in my view it will not enrich the server in any way or shape. Rather the opposite.
