whenever I used to play on my Order character and we were about to fight the BHG and the Keepers arrived, What used to happen is the BHG would chicken out and say something like:
"We'll wait untill you're either dead or you've killed the nomads"

that is not in RP, I mean In RP if anyone saw a nomnom the first thing you would do is shoot it.

It's interesting, but before we're into it I suggest this to be story-driven series of events. Rather than just a periodic old-fashioned brawl (not a fan of that, nor does fit into the brand new ideology of the faction). Besides, events can be controlled, regulated and even scripted to an extent, balancing sides to avoid ganking issues, etc.

/signed.

An event like this is another incitament to join serverfactions, which will strenghten the RP aspect of the server. So Battleslot events should just be for the factions involved.

I'm guessing thats also the reasoning behind the official battleslot event assignments - To further the RP between the serverfactions that got the battleslot assigned to them.

Ganking of Keepers, just like everyone else, is a big, fat no-no. but as with all events, we can just even the sides out as we go along, until the fighting strenght of all parties involved is even.

A series of events, revolving around a story would be very cool I think. gives so much more depth to the relation between the nomads, Order and Core. instead of blasting each other, we can all show our finer rp sides. (sidenote: I personally don`t have a problem with indies. some indies outclass faction players. faction players tend to know who the "good indies" are. these should be given the chance to participate. just mho, mind)

so, ideas for a story? maybe a nice raid on O55 to get a powercell? give the Wilde something to do? they always seem to be the odd man out.

Well then it's a different faction you should be asking. Besides how does that match up with the title of the subject? Those be Omegas, not Omicrons then. That's like two different regions half across the Sirius with pretty much a whole different set of factions inhabiting them.

Can't help with ideas at the moment since I'm preoccupied with faction re-structure and planning two mini-events already. You can ponder around story premise with the Order till we're done with these matters.

Personally I don't see a problem with indies for as long as they follow strictly the line defined by the event organizing task group, RP along and hold the responsibility on the same level as official factions participating, including the grave consequences should they try to disrupt the event.

Besides "massive fleet battles" would probably not include capital ship galore as we artificially limit ourselves to a bare minimum of capital ships, therefore you'd have to balance fleet structure participating in the event(s) accordingly.

I was thinking along the lines of starting off in Omega 55 with the core to steal a powercell. then the Order barges in to try and prevent the Core from stealing it. then Agmen`s suggestion comes into play: a chase across half Sirius with the Core trying to get the cell to Dabadoru, and the Order trying to prevent it. in order not to turn it into a shooting gallery, we can have the Core and Order yelling at each other along the way, both trying to convince the other to stop their actions. reason would be that if they start fighting and the powercell gets hit, both fleets will be wiped out. In Kappa, the Keepers can join in, trying to get their duracell back from the Core.

I reckon Harbringer and Mammetum will be more than enough to wipe the floor with "human caps". but that`s of later concern.

as for the story, I reckon it can go 3 ways from there. ( I can`t count to 3...)

1 Core gets the powercell to dabadoru. future events revolve around the cell being in the Core`s hands.

2 Order prevents it, and steals it for itself. story can go on from there.

3 Keepers whoop us all in the end. story carries on with Core still bent on getting a powercell, and the Order trying to prevent it.

I`m not a great creative mind, so suggestions are more than welcome.

Hmm, that doesn't sit very well with me... not at all, no.
That's a bit of bias there. Are all indies bad? Does the tag simply make one good at RP and fairplay?
Not in the least bit.

I'm an indie, and I'm somehow proud of it.
And my RP is almost ridiculously deep. That's the reason it's not on the forums... it's so massive.
But if you're seen me in game and RPed with me (and I RP with anyone who wants to) you'll have noticed how much work I put into it.

Certainly, there's better RP in factions. But not all indies are evil. There's good ones out there, and to pass judgment on the good as well as the bad is abundantly unfair. Of course, there should be a screening/application process... but most of the evil indies are probably not on the forums anyway, so it's not going to be a ridiculous amount of work.

What I'm saying is that if you exclude all indies, you end up shoving people like me down the drain, although there may only be a few of us. And I wouldn't be explicitly happy about that, as I'm always interested in large RP opportunities like this.

I think the bias against having non-faction members involved here is purely a concern related to control of numbers and ships rather than any implication that being non-faction makes one amoral, mentally deficient and as suspicious as a Heroin dealer in a playground.

Naturally.
However, I'd like it if some independents could participate, instead of being lumped together and thrown out all as one. For example, said application process or whatnot might prove useful for letting some of the better roleplayers into this wonderful sounding event.

As I said, the ones we should be wary of are most likely not ones with forums accounts, or ones who check the forum on the offchance they have said account.

Or I could just end up with more time to trade.
I always need more money.
