I am one of those ppl who stay in arena a lot of time and i think to colse arena is a big mystake ,but who i am ? nobody this nobody is palying the damn game, people play the game and we will have more rp, much ppl more fun and rp , dont stay all time on forum and post that is not rp .
and a good idea for more rp is to increse the scaner range maybe ,in that condition u have beter chances to chase and find ur target
sorry for english is not so good... and this is my first post on forum too ,i am not a virgin anymore lol
see ya in space

I meet with Pui in many funny RP situations (sometimes win, sometimes lose) so I can say he spent alot of his time also out of Arena
Closing Arena is imo not something what can really help (why? ... bcs imo neverending fights in X are not much better). Exist more ways how to 'invite' others to do something more funny as trainings in Arena (which are good to learn/practice new things).
I more times simply 'bumped' other side about something ... invasion, bounty alert, asf visiting csf liner, offer to help with legal trade
or many other things. Truth is that I usually need 3x more time which I have available for all I want to do. -

And there you guys go again. Discussing stuff which is not even really necessary to discuss.
Just a HINT for those who can read and actually want do to something.
QuoteThese are event systems and are not part of the role-playing universe. Players can use these systems for training, testing ship configurations and taking part in events. Players should not use these systems to avoid RP or protect stores ships. Players within these systems (eligible to RP) must leave if another player wishes to RP with them. The player must exit in a timely fashion though not necessarily through the nearest exit.
source CF-Rules-PageIf the players you want to RP with don't leave, then simply report them. Or do you guys expect someone being online all time, watching who is staying in Arena for what time?

I think that GRs should be able to teleport people
GRs teleporting others and themselves is a totally usseful tool, especially to instantly go in the system where something wrong is being reported, like abuse on newbies or wrong license, etc, things you can see with your own eyes instead of asking both parties and about 5 people to make a "fair" decision.
But that's already been denied like 3 times until now...
Quote from SWAT_OP-R8Rif people use insults they get removed from the server just like that tgt today
That is, temporary, right ? There are people who call their friends that while still being friendly (though not in this case ). -

Well...
do your RP in Arena the next week and we will see if things change
It's already open Husker.
-
And what do you think will happen? -> lots of people fighting , which isn't something new. It will be just like another system, like X ( for example ) , but with no npcs to lag the PvP , no places to hide or to pursue , or to block a path , etc.
The people that are fighting in the Arena have nothing else to do and so they decide to do a bit of sparring. Yes, it's true that they are also avoiding RP that way , but you can't force them out of the there. I think all of that it's due to the dynamic trading. You don't have anything good to trade , you don't get pirates on your tail if you don't trade , you don't get patrols on your tail if you don't smuggle .... etc, you get the point.
They already did the exploits on maximum and now they have everything. Now they can either try to organize something that will create RP and entertain the people , or spend them for themselves against other people in PvP. It's their choice.

If such thing is correct, then there is no more RP for them, as (nearly? ) none of them will take the "danger" to trade or smuggle, no matter how much profit the trade routes give.
IF that is the case, then there is a different request coming up for OP, to remove the money above 1 Bill, or even 500 mills, of all chars on the server, excepting Event Managers, GR and OP's char. That might make them worry about having no money to spend countless hours PvPing eachother friendly (as 100 mills goes out very fast in PvPs) and do some trade which can automatically bring RP, even if they will try to avoid battles to avoid losing more money.
-
Well, the trading is basically the biggest source of RP. It can bring all of the RPs together and still be fun , but if the people start switching to another characters, then all of that will be spoiled and therefore - no RP.
I am not saying to limit the money or something like that , but to make for each RP a worthable stock to trade. BMGs to be at least once or twice per week again , other stocks which are good enough to trade around Sirius and at least per hour - two , 20-30 mils MOST , not like 100+. But the routes shouldn't be from a system to system ( I mean, that are close enough to each other ) , but to be long enough so they don't get bored very quickly.
Another thing would be to start organizing some sort of events(not those Arena types ofc) that are fun enough each day. I mean like those which Forlon did some time ago , to protect a Battleship through some systems etc.
Another type of an event , would be like " Invadings ". If there are enough players of that particular clan , they could try defending their system from the other players for a matter of time , frags and etc.
Another type could be a " Mercenary " one. Two - three mercenaries are trying to catch someone through a spacific path (something like the Smuggler Event) , but with more adds to it.
And etc, etc ... I can't write you like 100 of those , but I think you get the point.
All of these brough together will bring up the RP more alive than ever. ONLY if there's organization for all of that. If not, then don't expect it to come any time soon.

Well, switching chars (for example in a trade ship) before getting caught in a RP case, while the chaser is in the same system, can get punished (and WILL, if somebody reports it correctly). And with the current times, he could lose that char entirely seeing how OP increases the punishments. I would just limit at making that move (of switching out) cost more than losing the cargo or paying a tax/fine. Like a 100 mills automatic fine (more or less depending his total richness).
Quotebut to make for each RP a worthable stock to trade.
There is nothing worthable (to trade or do RP) for people who already have "everything" thanx to exploits, as you said with your own words. If there are routes that give like 100 mills, they might do some route when there is no one arround, safely, and over. While there will be even more people in having "everything" by overusing these routes.
And I didn't said limiting money, neither anything at all, just that IF what you say is correct, the option was removing money, including from the banks, the limit would still be 2 bill/char.
Events are neither an option to those who have everything, unless they only want fun (which includes making sure they can win), but that will only do for 1-3 hours daily. And it needs heavy money ammounts for the managers.
And, events are not RP, they are for entertainment and possibly money source for the poor ones.

I doubt more than 5 people know about this change.
Spiky you could make sure everyone knows this change on the server
same as everyone... including me *cough* I have a week for it. xD -
Well, for the entertainment it needs to be organized , yes. But for the RP, the people will have to do it themselves, there's no other way. But you could do something to inspire them in case you want this to be done really 24/7 , some kind of an award for each situation... idk.
-
People are bored. Has anyone noticed there are no events at all?
-
Folks I'm trying to be nice: why everyone of you here not try organise something? ... Impossible, too difficult? ... lasy?
I with help of my clan mates are still trying do some organised fun for us and others even if our time is much more limited as for most of ppl here. You like 'ship' defending action? ... DO and prepare it! And this is for all other things. Actually how much ppl you need to have fun? (others as pvp in Arena). More of you are in instatnt touch via skype so try launch some actions and do some propagation. Only talking that things are wrong will not bring them better

lets just try what happens
do your RP in Arena the next week and we will see if things changeabout capping char lvls... there is not much i can do against that
if people use insults they get removed from the server just like that tgt today
who got removed and whos doing the insulting as clan leader id love to know and ples tell me about my members if u have a problem ill sort it outim sry but the arena is not the problem with this sever its the players them self and the nothing to do on the mod to help make RP 1.8 was the best mod OP ever had there was nothing wrong with that mod everyday was different on the sever that's what this 1.9 lacks everything is the same its so boring that's why players sit in the arena all the dam time hell i'm starting to just sit in there too that's the only place to get any kills but whats different to siting in there and siting in x with a long fight cop vs pirate this the same dam thing so u all need to quit complaining about the arena as its the players on the mod not the mod systems its self
the mod needs different trade runs everyday so everyone moves about the map make pods the same make them move and sell at different places
i for one am buying BMG not to even sell it i'm making cops hunt me down and using my clan-members as cover to kill them to stop them getting at my bmg THAT is RP we need more players doing things like this we need pirates moving about taking over systems helping smugglers out so they can pay u tax for them trading u just keep the cops off our backs that is what happened everyday in 1.8 if i can fined any mercs on line id hire them to escort me around the system i have too much cash to spend so mercs and rats come get me and help me trade only down side is if i was to trade id be siting in the same systems its too dam boring
OP make the trades move about again this all i'm asking that cant be to hard
