"RP"

  • Let me start by saying that even though I have been on the server for about a week now, it has been most fun.


    I looked for a better place to post this subject and didn't know exactly where it should go, so here it is and if it needs to be moved I understand.


    I was inducted into the CFPD a few days back. It has been a learning experience and I am still in the process of learning. But, I have a little concern of my own that is probably just my "noobness" coming out..lol
    Ok, I really like the RP of the server as I can roll up on a freighter and post comms that he needs to stop and allow me to scan his hold for anything illegal, at which point we go back and forth with our little RP. Very fun, and rewarding how ever it turns out. But I have noticed that it seems like a lot of players like to hang out in X-3043 and just sit and wait on a rat or cop to pvp. I really dont mind to pvp. But, I was under the impression that "X" was a RP system..The only RP that I really have seen is when I enter the system and a rat says "Die cop" and from then on its fight, respawn, "go". fight respawn...ect. There really doesn't seem to be much in the way of RP. If I am being totaly wrong about this then please excuse me, I am still pretty new. I thought that the Arena was the "PVP all you want" system. There is no repercussions from your RP in X-3043. It is only over when one or the other is out of money, or has to leave...Not too fun of an RP experience for me. I really don't mind to pvp. But, I am called into action to go rid "X" of rats by my commanding officer, just to pvp till someone gets bored. I have a suggestion, if I may...Just as with any system, "X" should really be no different, if you engage in RP there should be RP all the way. So, for example, if I come across a smuggler...I say I want to scan his cargo hold. He says yes or no, it continues till the RP is finished and he goes his way and I go mine. End of RP..The same should go with rats, mercs, all..Example: I enter "X", rat says "Die Cop!!" we fight till he wins or I do..THEN whomever lost should have to leave the system for x amount of time or whomever died should not be able to use that toon for x amount of time...I think that would maximize RP and would stop the never ending pvp sitting in X-3043..I am suppose to be a police officer, if I have to spend my whole time in "X" defending against a never ending pvp battle, I can not perform my duties as a police officer "RP". Like patrolling systems for anyone in distress, finding smugglers, exploring new routs of patrol..and so on..


    Please excuse me if I am not getting how X-3043 works..Or if I am missing something about how the RP works..Like I said I am still pretty new and am still learning. So, if anyone can enlighten me on this I would much appreciate it...

  • Dear Mausin,


    I think you "just" tapped an open wound there.


    From the countless pvp-, pr-discussions, complains of one player against the other before the admin
    you might be able to find on the boards, esp. if look a bit farther in time,
    you describeed exactly, what's wrong..
    Unfortunatly, the ones, that shouldl ensure, that rp is played JUST AS YOU described it, and
    AS IT'S STATED IN THE RULES , the "Galaxy Rangers" are almost non-present.


    ATM this is a bit ... a big part, of the problems with CF, as stated by OP in "Consequences"

  • Nice observation Mausin :) , you are not alone in this and are other threads with similar stuff. Reply to your question is not easy one. Players fighting in X simple to say like PvP fighting and this place offer them quickest way for it. Only few stay there almost all times, some walk around Sirius and initiate fight along way. Yes, will be nice if this happen much more often, but thats another story.


    You asked what you as police officer should to do, well, imo last thing you should to do is fight endless fights in X. Server rules say what each RP need obey, they say absoluely nothing how each player should to do role-play. You can spent all your time in armed freighter and patrol for smugglers hauling bmgs in space. You do not need fight endless times with pirate if he find you, you can ask some pvp experienced mercenary to take care about this ... or (now I'm sure old police RP will not like this ;) ) ... pay tax to avoid his unlimited attack on police rp and set bounty on that pirate (mercs will kill him later) Simple to say you have many ways what to do even if you are yet not skilled in pvp or flying ship which can't stand against fighter. PvP practice will come with time.


    Edit by
    @NucNuc: GR can help, but imo new ppl playing differently can help much more. Atm I think that we need still explain to ppl that to do rp is not only pvp in X ...

    ... and give them help or offer fun as often as possible.

  • I hope the situation will change when in CF2.0 the systems connected to x3043 get additional jumpholes leading to other systems

  • My "nnobness" has shown through...lmao I sure didnt do any search for similar subjects, my bad. Thanks for the replying anyway. I didnt think that I HAD to stay and fight, but I don't want to be the "noob" that leaves because I'm bored with endless pvp..lol And, I don't want to disappoint my C.O. for not jumping in there and staying till its over either. I dont want to be the "party pooper"..lol I don't know how possible it is to do, but maybe there could be an instant respawn to NY. Maybe like it does when you run out of cash? Thats probably way too hard to do...Or just adding an RP byline rule, like the tax rule, that once you engage one rat/cop, you can not engage again for an hr. or something..??? IDK, Just trying to help...Thanks again for the input..

  • The only active GR I've seen is Vishnu, and Maxbur occasionally... Heh, I still have the ship and my GR char... I gotta dismantle that when I have the time... Good times, good times.
