I'll be honest, I'm dissapointed. I was passing through O-Eta and heard the Spagna. I tried to role-play a little, and all I got back was variations on "HHHHooooowwwwlll!!!", repeating wanting souls, and being called "scum". Why a flippin' ghost would call anyone scum is beyond me, but pah. All this using ***nomad asterisks***. There was no attempt to create suspense, intriuge or fear, pretty much just shouting "BOO!" over system comms isn't going to cut it, I'm afraid.

So, yeah. Very disapointing.

well im sorry you feel that way, I have screens of any earlier interaction with an SOB player who loved the RP I
(Spagna) gave. But Ill try to be more Creative/engaging with you next time:sleep:

PS the Asterisks *** are there to distinguish ghost chat from other players, I think youll find nomads use way more *** in between each word.

There's hope. Maybe.

The *** signifies that it isn't a comms signal, but a telepathic voice. If you ghost ships are speaking over comms, do not use ***.

A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.

' Wrote:Hello everyone :D

First this is to Mr. Agmen, you invite me into the Phantoms and ill scrap this whole Ghost.Ship thing! but we all know thats never going to happen. I know we relate to them quite a bit and that wasnt really the plan but i can see know where the phantoms may have evolved from. So think about please i would love to join.

as for people not liking us all i have to say is iam sorry but we are trying to have fun and do new things like everyone else. My intentions are not to create enimies but to build on FL game play. Iam sorry if you are upset with us or dislike our RP. I really hate the negativity but non-theless it will only help our RP.

And that was me in Omega 56 and i was Hunting these BHG for a few systems, when i herd the were buying new ship (from inside informate) i took it apon myself to test there skill. if it was me in a new dessie i would have been like "yes a Ghost.Ship lets test these new guns crew" but thats just me i guess.

I respect all the community members and only ask the same in return.

Thank you all again for the feedback.



This, made me worry..

It seams all this is about you being able to shoot who ever you are and being awesome like the phantoms..

And for the whole Ghost RP, well, if you do it well (which some seams you haven't done) I would have no problems with it, but here, here is the problem..

All I am seeing from your posts (yours and BLACKWIDOW) are; you want to PvP with a large number of people, and have a large ZOI, I know this is true. Cause that was what I would do..:P

You want
  • To blast things with the Osiris, and to look better, you use a fighter as well, this still doesn't mean anything to me. Unless your RP is good, which according to most here, it isn't.

  • You want to be independent from the corsairs, yet be corsairs, now this I am not sure of when I say it, but that is how it feels when I read the posts.

  • You are ghosts, sure, given that you are ghosts, how the F could you repair the ships, cause they are real, correct? I mean do you intend to have ghost crews actually board stations to fix the damage on the ships?
    Or is the ships Ghosts as well? Then can they be damaged, can they be destroyed?? And if they can be damaged, the former question remains, and if they can be destroyed, how does the ship re-create? Or does the ships simply "damaged" and retreats...
Just some thoughts`..

Anyhow, good luck:)

You know what? Yesterday, while I was chatting about seeing the Ghost Ship appearing to yet again raid guard systems, I made an on the spot desision.

I will roleplay a "ghostship" in a way that not only fits into current Discovery lore, but is also mysterious, threatening, atmospheric, and great fun for all involved. I will not powergame the deaths of others, nor seek to engage in any PvP whatsoever.

In short, I will do what you should be doing, but for some reason seem unable to do. To prove not only that it can be done, but that it can done well.

I bid you to look to the North-West, for out in the unfamiliar void, things are not always as they seem...

Folks, you're missing a large concept of ghosts by introducing any kind of dogfighting into your proposal.

Ghosts do not have enemy/hostile lists. They don't fire at all and even if they did fire, they would do no damage. They're called ghosts for a reason.
They're incorporeal beings. They're there, but they're not there. Not really.

Another concept regarding ghosts is that they are largely guided by unfullfilled tasks. Anything in their past life that was left incompleted before their death is typically carried on into their phantom forms. Here are a few ghost ideas:

1) A happy-go-lucky salesman who travels around a system trying to sell vacume cleaners (represented by Slaves in the cargo bay).

2) A little girl who is running away from her father, also a ghost. The father used to rape her in her past life and continues to chase her in death.

3) A young trader who died because he told a pirate, "So what if you kill me! I'll just respawn!" and now has to carry 5,000 units of whatever cargo he had when he died, never able to sell it.


Try to think of creative ideas and throw any thoughts of gunfire out the window.
