OORP or not?

[ScornStar]

I open this thread to have civilized discussion of what the communities thought are on various equipment and under what cercumstance they may be purchaesed and not be OORP.

My firsty question to the community is, if certain guns and ship are OORP and not to be own by certain individuals then why does everyone seem to have Order Armor and Scanners? Those seem to be Items never dropped and destroyed by battle. Scanners being delicate and Armor being what destroyed in order to defeat an enemy. So do folks have a RP reason for these items or are we only concerned with guns and ships?

Your thoughts please. Do not feel limited by my questions as this topic is for all equipment.

well... those armors are sold at nearly every guard base, plus many other bases. whether they were supposedly invented by the order or whatnot is irrelevant. it would unbalance PVP to a huge degree if the best armors were restricted to certain factions. as to scanners, what are you talking about?

we are currently lack of BS weapons.....and the armour for each armour...so..there are not much limit on cap ship's armour and Inferno/BattleRazor..

If..only Order's ally can use Battlerazor..and capship armour...only outcast and its ally can use inferno..only liberty's ally can use normal armor upgrads..(i remember is design by liberty..)



all the balance will mess up.....so get use to it...

Discovery scanner....design by the order......

mmm....
thing is, armour seriously needs its own house deviations.
Because, no one is going to fly without armour, its suicide.
Its seriously suicide. In this case, the Roleplaying is done by imagining that every house and pirate group (or maybe just a few suppliers) can manufacture and are willing to sell these very necessary components.

It would be a nice addition if the houses and some major pirate groups started to make their own armour deviants.
scanners too.

Discovery scanners are another Order invention

Ok, I can even imagine there would be knock offs out there but, then that could be said for every item.
Also it takes one of the few edges from the Fighter dependent Order and forces them to stock on Capships as well.

Additionally I've been told just because you can buy it at a friendly station, doesnt mean you have the right.

What do ya'll think?

IMO, this is a little over the top. guns, ships, Ids, I can understand, but why increase the armors in the game if they all do the same thing?


Believe you me, I am a strong advocate of role play, but lets not add something into the mod unless it helps improve the balance and role play aspects...

I dont use the discovery scanner....

Perhaps just chainging the infocards to mention common production...

that would probably suffice. also mention how expensive and rare the material is... that way you can justify how the best armors cost many times more then a ship.

That would work very well.

Scornstar, remember that no one can tell you how to RP. Just make sure that your RP is within logical bounds without being ridiculous.

For instance, if you wanted to fly a Corsair Praetorian bomber, don't make your char a Liberty Navy tagged and ID PraeBomber. Play a corsair flying a PraeBomber.

Just a quick note on the Discovery Scanner, though. It is designed by the Order, but remember that it is sold on a variety of neutral bases, such as Gran Canaria.

It is fine the way it is. Use your imagination, pretend it says something different. DON'T use that method for other things though..
