Would the formation of the SNN interest anyone?

    It struck me that the formation of the Sirus News Network might be interesting. Now, I'm not sure if this has been proposed and dismissed already... but it would essentially be where interested players could create a neutral character tagged with [SNN] to specifically and ONLY report on what goes on in Sirus. Those players would take screen shots to accompany any stories... maybe even use FRAPS to make videos. Of course, interested players would not be allowed to participate in any action they were reporting on.


    There could be limitations on what ships SNN correspondents are limited to using, whether or not they are allowed to mount weapons, etc.


    Again. I'm not announcing the formation of this... just starting the discussion.

    Thats a good idea, but it must be contained in the Vanilla house's as IC will make minemeat of anyone doing that.
    Unless OP can make a char that is totally Neutral to all in Crossfire.
    Maybe for 2.0 yes.


    Excellant idea. :thumbsup:


    You can have use of my limo tonight for that. :D

    Definitely a good idea but the player will have to be neutral to the RP that's going on aka a player who's not interested in RPing, otherwise some things will be shown in good light while others in a bad one ;)

    I suppose you have never heard of THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, where u come from??



    The Press Char should be neutral to ALL factions, if you fire upon it you pay a heavy fine or you become enemy to ur team, or auto destruct.
    RP must get back into this mod, people are losing interest in it. :(


    Lets make Crossfire 1.82 and 1.9> 2.0 the best mod out there... :thumbsup: C'mon we can do it people. ;)

    It's easy enough to make a char neutral with Vanilla FL factions... except Nomads, of course.


    As far as the CF factions... if we imagine being in this world, being in the press could be considered just as dangerous an occupation... maybe only certain individuals with a powerful enough SNN tagged character could venture into the more dangerous systems with an armed escort... I can actually imagine an individual going up there and NOT fighting... but taking screen shots and whatnot... and still surviving, providing they had an escort.


    As far as being neutral with all the RP factions... it all depends on whether that faction WANTS to be portrayed favorably in the press... there are certainly people and countries here that do not want to allow the press freedom of movement... it is certainly possible that some clans would not want the Press to have free access to their domains... it would just look REALLY bad for them if they were attacking unarmed press characters.


    I don't imagine that someone who is in a press tagged ship has to stay out of RP... I mean, journalists get along well enough as war correspondents... You talk and get along with people... you are just an observer... JAFO. Perfectly normal that different people would feel differently about being in the spotlight. Some might even ham it up when there is press around, just to get their picture on the news.
