I'm looking to create a character with the sole intent to RP without all the pew pew. So my question is what is a fun faction to RP as that gets alot of activity(wont sit around bored for long periods of time), and is fun. I was thinking junkers or gmg/img. I'm not sure though. Any suggestions.
All three of those actually see a decent amount of combat, especially IMG.
As head of a Junker faction I'd say we're great for RP, just don't fall into the power smuggling trap I'm trying to break so many Congress members of. It's hard sometimes to see who's actually in for RP and who's in for funding other characters -- your reputation matters more than anything, and someone who will actually play along in an unarmored TR Freighter who feigns ignorance of Nomads is a far more valued player than an Adv. Train Captain who flies every route that pays big and knows everything about every spot in the galaxy.
And please for the sake of all my sanity, don't buy a cap. I'm so sick of getting told off about some Junker cap pilot that's not even Congress.
I have a chara called soda shoppy. which sells, well, soda`s. It`s a real laugh when people respond in a good way. some people don`t play along but most respond quite well.
fun characters are a laugh to play with. enough RP to get out of it.
so I`d say: give it a go
I'd go for something less common. Take, for example, my Junker Humpback, basically a Rheinlandish-Junker. It's a weak ship and all, but I'm only using it to roleplay. Hell, sometimes I ask for my share, when pirates are taxing traders nearby junker bases. It's fun.
