Outcasts and Nomads

[n00bl3t]

jeez, you make me sound like I'm totally one sided and not willing to accept good role play....

which is certainly not the case.

If I deal with a situation ingame, I do it in role play, reacting how my character would react. I simply felt they hadnt given what they did ingame enough preperation and thought, hence my last comment.

oh, and GET SOME KEEPERS ONLINE!!! please... my char blackheart is reduced to madly heckling order characters, which gets kinda boring after a while.

*Attempts Telepathic thought.*

***Keeper appear please.***

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

They were on today in Alpha. Treewyrm and two others.

Sorry bud, that attitude is gonna make me keep you awaaaaaaaay from Liberty. And if I see you again, on any of my chars, you're an enemy for me.

Just so you know, I'm not in the LSF. I was just trying to see what kind of person you are, and you proved you aren't worth 2 cents in my eyes. Good job.

Dude, that doesnt matter, any nomad in liberty space is KoS anyway, so even if u werent there i'd still get shot...i dont see your point -_-

I've been a witness to many accounts that he's retold.

He never fires a single shot in Alpha, he has an outcast tag, and he does roleplay it the best a nomad in his position can be rp'd.

As stated before Docking Killing is a serious rule breaking.

He's even flown with me and a few others on missions in alpha.
It's 6am right now, and I'm VERY tired...I forgot the point of this post...

But, m point is, i think, that he causes no harm, has TRIED roleplaying his character out ot being able to be in alpha, Visas has too. Most people in Alpha should know by now that he IS friendly and won't be doing anyone any harm...

And just because one person is ignorant to what is going on, doesn't mean that he can do what he likes, including breaking the rules.

I'll spread the word, IC if needed, since I have first hand accounts to back my position.

Thank you, this actually means a lot to me. I'll admit now that docking on malta was not a good idea, and now i know that. Before i didnt know, and you can all say "you shoulda looked into it before you did it". and to that i say, my rp with a nomad was very limited and visas made it seem like it was no big deal, if it was at the time why hadnt any of the nomads told me?

Also on a side note, i got the outcast tag to buy a pirate id. i got rid of it shortly after. =P

Alright, guess i'm going to have to step in and clear this whole mess up.

1. These two players ( Immunity and [N-H]Deflection ) are trying their best to RP as nomads, and are working with my outcast character to back her RP story. They are both trying to perfect their behavior as nomads so that they can one day be accepted by the keepers and actually use nomad ships that dont suck.

2. The nomad light fighter is very limited in what it can do. It cannot equip nomad energy cannons or blasters because it's hardpoints are all level 9. For that reason, they're using 'human' weapons, both players have been supplied with Krakken Type 2's by myself.

Not only this, but the shield hard point is only level 9 as well, this makes me die very very easily. Any where in the nomad npc systems, it doesnt matter if you are 30k up or down, or 50k up or down, nomad npcs will spawn where ever you are, so all ill be able to do is run away all the time.

Anyway, you don't need players around to be a good roleplayer. It is more likely for a nomad to contact a human personally, ie private chat, than to use system chat. It would use less energy to contact one person, than to make a system-wide message. Trial nomads aren't at the peak of their power, so the private option seems to be the best.

This is just a ridiculous idea. In fact, no offense meant, but this is quite literally the dumbest idea yet...I have tried to "contact" random people in game and ill im met with is, "what the hell are you talking about?" A majority of the people have no idea what im trying to do when i talk to them. Not to mention it is really hard to strike up a conversation when they wont ask me any questions in return.

Finally, arnt all the stations and planets human stations and planets? The only nomad bases are places that im hostile to, so saying "dock on non-human bases" is quite literally impossible.

The dumbest idea? You don't have to PM random people, you can PM people in Omicron Alpha, without having to dock with their bases and broadcast in system. Private chat allows you to choose who you roleplay with, instead of broadcasting in system and recieving "lul whut" as a response. Also, don't say it's a dumb idea, since it's been pretty popular for a lot of Keepers recruits and roleplay.

You can dock on Planets Gammu and Primus, which should be the only bases you should dock on. They are OORP bases, filled with silly weapon choices and misplaced ships. Dock with them, as is suggested in the Keepers faction status. Unless Tenacity's Sisterhood controlled every Outcast base, you should not be docking on them.

It does take knowing what names are most likely to play along...and you really can tell. Some names are just much more in rp. Like names, for example....
Other things that generaly tip me off are any use of symbols(often bad), faction markings(often good), ship names as opposed to an internet handle...such nuances go on and on. Underbridge is always up for a chat.

Planet Gammu is a robot planet. When AC Merc was doing his Nomad LF, that's where he used.

This is just a ridiculous idea.

It worked for the Keepers until it was decided they could all use telepathy in system. Try it a little more. Here's a few hints for getting responses:

• Anything named "Lord Roflcopter" is not going to respond nicely.
  
• Almost anything with a tag, especially an official tag, is likely to have some idea what you're going for and play along, or at least acknowledge you with a "// Sorry, not a good time"
  
• Barring tagged characters, FirstName.LastName usually indicates a little more thought and an actual character as opposed to a newbie trader.
  
• Don't try people in warring factions if their opponent is in system, they are likely to be at each others throats and not at liberty to chat.
  

Hopefully that will help.

I appreciate it, I knew most of these tips already, obviously a lower level with a name like "pwnzorkapwnzor" is not someone i want to try. I'm not totally bashing it because obviously it is necessary, i suppose me saying that it is the dumbest idea was the wrong thing to say. I just dont like the idea of randomly picking someone via "eeny meeny minny mo". Thats why it was alot easier to RP while i was outside of malta because i could rp with the people around me. Well obvously that is out of the question now.

Alright, ill go to a nice hostile system to dock. sounds fun. -_-

Welcome to RPing an alien. The hat, badge, and horde of people who want to kill you should arrive within two weeks. Scratch that, the horde will arrive.... look behind you.

After my interactions with these two guys, several keepers, and the RP i've done on visas, I've been seriously tempted to create a nomad LF character in the hopes of getting into the keepers. I still firmly believe that you wont get much feedback if you stay in a system where few people go, and where you're constantly assaulted by nomad battleship NPC patrols.

I have thought about trying to base it out of connecticut, focusing RP in liberty, but there's quite a bit more OORP crap going on there and a lot of people wont understand what I'm trying to do. There's really no good place to RP as a nomad when you arent really a nomad.

The weapon restrictions are a little on the annoying side as well. The nomad LF cannot use nomad blasters/cannons, so it's stuck with 'faction' class 9 guns... they look horrible on the ship model as well. The LF cant equip countermeasures or mines - the latter isnt a problem but no CM's means you really cant escape from most npc's outside of new york, and you'll never get away from a pvp whoring idiot player that wants to kill you. The ship also has terrible survivability, it cant even go through some radioactive areas without dying (which is odd considering nomads soak up radiation for power...)

Still, I might give it a shot, if I decide to stick around with all the idiots harassing me left and right.

Go for it, I await being fed a char name to talk to. Please, I think you'll do great.
