Interested in buying restricted ships for use in Conn only.

[Pinko]

Hey.

I'm aware one can use OORP setups in conn and whatnot, since it's a OORP system.

I was wondering about the feasability of getting a restricted ship or weapons and to only own them for PvP purposes in Conn. (Such as the Partisan, or Nomad fighters, or Phantom guns.)

While it would be nice for testing and having fun, but how could it be enforced to make sure they don't get out and cause general havoc?

Maybe Cannon could work some FLhook magic and make those chars that bought them for conn only use not be able to use the jump hole?

[Pinko]

Freeworld has a nice system for that, a one way jumphole with a system with over 100 bases, selling every fighters and caps, with different environmnets to test them out, as well as a simple trade route from Base 1 to base 2 which lets you buy whatever you needs. /givecash is locked there for them when they are in this system so it can't be absued, and every chars there use the [PvP] tag.

I was just suggesting something.

OoRP Connecticut ship set-ups are enforced in the same way that all other OoRP ship set-ups are enforced: If someone sees a ship that defies the tech chart anywhere outside of Connecticut, it gets reported.

Unless Cannon magically has a whole lot of spare time for extra FLHook stuff, I don't think we need to spend the time on Hooking some fancy way restricting certain ships from using the Jump Hole. It's questionable as to whether or not these ships should even exist in the first place, regardless of the fact that they'll never leave Connecticut. I don't see much need in writing some code that will make things easier for them.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the "anything goes in Conn" attitude doesn't cover restricted ships and equipment. Admins and faction leaders will probably be pretty hesitant to hand out Nomad/Coalition/Phantom/Whatever gear to someone who's "just using it for Connecticut". I mean, I'd suppose it's up to the individual faction leaders and admins themselves to decide, but I'm pretty sure that others have asked for special Connecticut ships before and have been rejected.

So if you really wanna know, ask the people in charge of that stuff directly, I guess.

Honestly, I don't see why anyone would refuse giving a ship for Conn uses.

Probably because the person in charge of giving out the ships can't trust people to not take the restricted equipment for a spin in New York or something.

Or maybe they're totally against the idea of Conn-only ships, or the idea of Connecticut entirely. Or maybe they have a problem with sharing. Or maybe they just don't like the person who's asking. Or maybe they need to feel special by being part of the only group able to use special ships, and they don't want to negate that special feeling by giving their equipment out to someone not in that group.

I don't know. I can think of several different reasons why someone might refuse someone else access to their restricted stuff for Connecticut use. But like I said, it all depends on the person and their preferences.

Number of player in each system :

New York : 3
Omicron Alpha : 2
Omicron Gamma : 2
Omicron Minor : 1
Hamburg : 2
Leeds : 3
Connecticut : 187

And guess what, they use Phantom ship and Nomad guns
Not that I do not agree or being cynical, I think we all want to keep this server as RP server with all rules and limitation
But I do agree if this OORP thing limited to white cell only

If you want that you can buy everythin you want change the server! There is a server called
-=[Discovery of Discovery]=- where you can buy what you want, you can PvP everywhere you like.

Conn in Freelancer Discovery RP 24/7 is a system to test ur legal weapons and ships with or against others.
If you buy a Phantom ship you need special RP for it.

I say we leave it like it is.

Cheers

Actually, no. I've seen ships with nomad equipment there. Of course they didn't have any permission, nor they were intending to leave conn. And it was considered ok by everyone =\
Also, why would you need an RP permission for ooRP use? And if you'll leave Conn, you're free for 6.10, and probably you'll lose your ship and equipment. Current rules cover it all.

If it would be so, then DoD would be the most populated server out there. But it's not.

Of course, sometimes people will go there to have fun. But thats definitely won't ruin anything.
